Instructions
Prepare a clear, large glass bowl or trifle dish to showcase the beautiful layers.
Start by adding the romaine lettuce at the bottom of the dish to create a dense and even base layer.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce for the next layer.
Place the cucumber slices evenly as the third layer.
Spread the thinly sliced red onion over the cucumber slices.
Layer the thawed green peas on top of the onions, spreading them evenly across the surface.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese as the next layer to create a contrasting bright yellow color.
Arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs on top of the cheese, evenly spaced for a decorative effect.
Sprinkle the crumbled cooked bacon over the layer of eggs for a crispy and flavorful addition.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to prepare the dressing.
Carefully spread the dressing over the topmost layer, covering the salad completely to lock in the freshness.
Garnish the top of the dressing with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of green.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a centerpiece dish that doesn't require tossing. Simply scoop down through the layers to serve.
