Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 8 slices Crispy bacon
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Green onions
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Croutons
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Spread evenly in the bottom of a glass serving bowl or trifle dish.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and layer them evenly over the lettuce.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Allow it to cool slightly, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Spread the bacon pieces on top of the tomato layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the layered ingredients, creating a smooth, even layer.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them evenly over the dressing layer.
Shred the cheddar cheese and sprinkle it across the top of the salad.
Add the croutons as the final layer, ensuring they are evenly distributed for crunch.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve directly from the glass dish, ensuring each serving includes a bit of every layer. Enjoy!
