Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the thawed peas, chopped eggs, crumbled bacon or ham, green onions, and shredded cheese.
Season: Add black pepper, salt, garlic powder, celery seeds, and a dash of cayenne. Mix well to ensure even distribution of seasonings.
Dress It Up: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. Pour over the pea mixture and gently mix to coat all ingredients.
Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld.
Enjoy: Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish at your next barbecue or family gathering.
