Step 1

Pour the frozen peas in a large mixing bowl and add cool water to thaw them. Stir a few times while you’re prepping the other ingredients to break up any frozen chunks.

Step 2

In a separate smaller bowl, soak the onion in water for 15 minutes. Drain both very well in a strainer. Dry out the mixing bowl by wiping with a clean towel.

Step 3

Once the peas and onions are drained, pour them back into the mixing bowl with the rest of the salad ingredients. Toss gently to mix.

Step 4

Prepare the salad dressing in the bowl you soaked the onions in by stirring together the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad and gently fold it in until all the veggies are coated. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
