Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Spinach leaves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 4 large Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the romaine lettuce and spinach leaves. Tear them into bite-sized pieces and layer them evenly at the bottom of a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and arrange them as the second layer on top of the greens.
Peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, then layer them on top of the tomatoes.
Thinly slice the red onion into rings and place them on top of the cucumbers.
Scatter the frozen peas evenly over the red onions to create the next layer.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces and layer them over the peas.
Shred the sharp cheddar cheese and sprinkle it evenly to create the next layer.
Chop the cooked bacon into small pieces and spread them over the cheese layer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Carefully spread the dressing mixture evenly over the top of the salad layers, completely covering the top for a decorative presentation.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, garnish with additional shredded cheese or chopped chives, if desired. Serve chilled.
