Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 cups Frozen peas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices Cooked bacon
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the Romaine lettuce by washing it thoroughly and chopping it into bite-sized pieces. Spread the chopped lettuce evenly into a large, transparent serving bowl to create the first layer.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them on top of the lettuce as the second layer.
Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Add the cucumber cubes as the third layer.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin rings or small pieces, depending on your preference. Evenly distribute the onion on top of the cucumber as the fourth layer.
Defrost the frozen peas by rinsing them under cold water and patting them dry. Layer the peas on top of the onions as the fifth layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the peas to create the sixth layer.
Crumble the cooked bacon slices and spread them over the cheese for the seventh and final layer.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the salad to cover it completely. This will help seal in all the layers and flavors.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled directly from the bowl, ensuring you scoop down to get all seven layers in every serving.
