Ingredients
1 (15 oz) can sweet peas, drained
1/3 small onion, finely diced
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1/2 cup finely diced sharp cheddar cheese
1 dash creole seasoning
Directions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully place eggs in the boiling water and cook for approximately 10–12 minutes until fully hard-boiled. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon, cool in ice water, then peel and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Drain the canned sweet peas thoroughly and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Finely dice the onion and add it to the bowl with the peas.
Add the mayonnaise, mustard, sweet pickle relish, and finely diced cheese to the bowl.
Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs to the mixture.
Gently fold all ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until evenly combined and creamy.
Sprinkle the creole seasoning over the top of the salad and stir briefly to incorporate.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
