Bacon Pea Salad

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (20 ounce) package fresh green peas
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup cubed Cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped onion

Directions

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon grease.

Whisk mayonnaise, reserved bacon grease, honey, sugar, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until dressing is smooth.

Mix bacon, peas, celery, Cheddar cheese, and onion together in a bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
