1/4 cup chopped purple onion
1/2 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (about 4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese 
2 chopped hardboiled eggs
3/4 cup chopped cooked pancetta

  2. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Before serving, add the pancetta and the eggs.
  4. Toss before serving.
