- 20 oz english peas fresh, shelled
- 2 oz blue cheese crumbled
- 1/2 cup bacon crumbled
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream

- 1 tsp dried dill
Instructions
- Bring pot of water to boil. Salt water and add in peas. Cook 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Drain and submerge into ice water. Drain again and pour onto clean dish towels to dry. As you dry peas, sort through them to remove any brown peas or random debris, like stalks and leaves. Pour peas into large bowl. Add in cheese and bacon.
- For the dressing, stir mayonnaise, sour cream, red onion, salt, pepper and dill together until smooth. Pour over peas and stir to coat. Either serve immediately or chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes
If you can't find the fresh peas, get some frozen ones and defrost them quickly in a colander with warm water. Once they are defrosted, run some cold water over them to chill and then dry on a clean kitchen towel. You can also defrost in the fridge overnight, just be sure to rinse and dry them before using. No need to blanch them like you would using the fresh peas.
