- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Frozen peas

- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Wash and dry the iceberg lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces and spread it evenly in the bottom of a large glass bowl or trifle dish.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and layer them evenly over the lettuce.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and slice it into thin rounds. Arrange the cucumber slices as the next layer on top of the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion and scatter the rings over the cucumber layer.
Rinse the frozen peas under warm water to thaw, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Add the peas as the next layer.
Peel and slice the hard-boiled eggs, arranging them evenly on top of the peas.
Crumble the cooked bacon slices and sprinkle them over the egg layer.
Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly as the next layer.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Spread this dressing mixture evenly over the cheese layer, covering the entire surface.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them as the final topping.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. Serve cold and enjoy the layers of texture and flavor!
