Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Croutons
- 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced thinly
Instructions
In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
Prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In a clear glass trifle bowl or large salad bowl, begin layering the salad. Start with the chopped romaine lettuce as the base layer.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes evenly on top of the lettuce layer.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the tomato layer for the next layer.
Spread the prepared dressing evenly over the bacon layer, ensuring full coverage.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dressing layer.
Add a layer of croutons to provide crunch.
Finally, top the salad with sliced green onions for added freshness and garnish.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled. Gently toss before serving to mix all the layers, or serve as is to keep the aesthetic of the layers intact.
