Southern English Pea Salad
Although I didn’t eat Southern English Pea Salad, particularly growing up, I have had a fair amount of it after moving to the USA.
I was initially introduced to this one at an Easter brunch gathering in church we attended many moons ago.
I have a really good memory; sometimes it’s a blessing and sometimes a true curse. Anyway, to continue with my post.

Additionally, it made me think of the Oliver SALAD I’ve been preparing for a very long time. It’s a “Russian” salad as we call it, but it’s known as Oliver Salad.
To be perfectly honest with you this one is a pleasantly uncomplicated side dish made with delicate sweet peas, bacon, cheese cubes, and red onion in a mayonnaise and sour cream-based dressing.
Ideal side dish for potlucks, and family get-togethers. I love adding boiled eggs, ham, and pickles from time to time. It just adds something extra.
- Low Carb dish, so it is ideal for Ketogenic diet and people with Diabetes who are watching on carb intake.
- This traditional pea salad recipe is cooked, so the process is quite easy.
- This dish got the perfect texture; Crispy and cool with a creamy dressing that has a bit of tartness.
- Simple, inexpensive, and delicious!
- It goes great with ham, chicken, or even BBQ.

Southern English Pea Salad
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 (10-oz) package of frozen peas, thawed and drained
- 1 cup cheddar cheese cubes
- 2 tbsp. chopped dill
- 1/4 tbsp. black pepper
- 1/8 tbsp. sea salt, a pinch
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Optional:
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and chopped
- Cubed smoked ham
Instructions
- Air Fry Bacon (bake or fry in the
skillet). - Place frozen peas in a pot of water and let it defrost. Yes, you can
use canned, but I really enjoy the taste of frozen peas. - While bacon is crisping up, and frozen peas defrosting, chop the onion and
you may make cheese cubes smaller if you prefer that way which my family do. - I like combing dressing on the side, adding it to the salad bowl, and tossing everything together.
- Now when everything is cooked, chopped, and defrosted, combine it.
- Keep it in the fridge and serve cold.
Notes
Ham is a great addition if you like to add, just use a nice thick sliced and cubed ham.
I like adding boiled eggs which I didn’t this time to keep it more traditional, but you could and it makes it so rich and tasty;
•8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs or 13 minutes at 250F in an air fryer… pull them out of boiling water or air fryer, break eggs for a bit, and place in ice-cold water for 5 minutes before peeling.
If you prefer shredded cheese please do add shredded.
