Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 4 Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Cooked bacon crumbles
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Granulated sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the spinach leaves and romaine lettuce. Chop the romaine into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, peel and slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and slice the red onion into thin rings or half-moons.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into rounds.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to create the salad dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
In a large, clear glass salad bowl (for presentation), begin layering the salad ingredients: start with a layer of spinach leaves followed by romaine lettuce.
Add a layer of sliced cucumbers, followed by cherry tomatoes, and then a layer of red onion slices.
Next, evenly layer the sliced hard-boiled eggs over the vegetables.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs, followed by the bacon crumbles.
Spread the prepared dressing evenly over the top, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the salad to seal in freshness.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, toss the salad lightly or serve it layered for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
