Crunchy Pea Salad: A Retro Classic with a Fresh Twist
If you're looking for a side dish that’s quick, crunchy, creamy, and bursting with flavor, crunchy pea salad might just be your new go-to. This retro-inspired dish is making a comeback—and for good reason. It’s ridiculously easy to throw together, packs a serious texture punch, and has that cool, refreshing vibe perfect for potlucks, BBQs, or just a Tuesday night dinner.

What Is Crunchy Pea Salad?Crunchy pea salad is one of those classic recipes that feels like it came straight from grandma’s recipe box. The base is sweet green peas—usually frozen and thawed—tossed with crisp veggies, savory crunchy almonds, and a creamy dressing. What makes it really shine, though, is the crunch.
It’s creamy. It’s tangy. It’s sweet. It’s salty. It’s everything.
