Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups romaine lettuce
- 1 cup frozen green peas
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumbers
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
- 0.5 red onion
- 0.75 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables by washing and drying the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the cucumber. Thinly slice the red onion into rings.
In a large, clear serving dish or trifle bowl, layer the ingredients in the following order: romaine lettuce (6 cups), green peas (1 cup, thawed if frozen), cherry tomatoes (1.5 cups), cucumber (1 diced), and red onion (0.5 thinly sliced).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (0.75 cup), sour cream (0.5 cup), Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon), honey (1 teaspoon), salt (0.25 teaspoon), and black pepper (0.25 teaspoon) to create the dressing.
Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the red onion layer, ensuring it reaches the edges to fully seal the salad.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese (1.5 cups) over the dressing, followed by the crumbled bacon (8 slices).
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled directly from the serving dish. Enjoy the vibrant layers and fresh flavors with a serving spoon!
