For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise. Homemade mayonnaise adds a richer, more nuanced taste. If you prefer a sweeter salad, consider adding a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey to the dressing. Chopped celery or crumbled bacon can be added for extra texture and flavor. For a tangier salad, add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing. Make sure the peas are fully thawed, but not mushy, before combining them with the other ingredients.
