Pleasantly Surprised!

Green Pea and Crisp Corn Salad

Ingredients:
1lb frozen tender peas, thawed and drained
3/4 C. frozen kernel corn, thawed and drained
1/2 C. minced purple onion
1/2 C. diced red bell pepper
1 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 C. chopped cooked bacon
1/4 - 1/3 C. sour cream
1/4 - 1/3 C. mayonnaise
3/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas, corn, onion, peppers, bacon, and cheese.
2. Stir in the sour cream and mayonnaise.  Start with the minimum amount and add more if you want it a bit creamier.  (I used the lesser amount of 1/4 C. of each and it was nice and creamy but not gooey)
3. Add salt and pepper and mix well.
4. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 2 hours before serving.

Happy Cooking!!
