Cook the ham: Dice the smoked country ham and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside to cool.
Prepare the peas: If using frozen peas, thaw them under cold running water or in the microwave according to package directions. Drain well.
Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the thawed peas, cubed cheddar cheese, crispy ham, red onion, and celery.
Make the dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the pea mixture and gently stir to combine. Make sure everything is evenly coated.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This salad is best served cold.
Serve: Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir. Garnish with extra crispy ham, if desired. Enjoy!
