Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Romaine lettuce
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumbers
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1.5 cups Frozen peas
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Cooked bacon
- 1.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the veggies. Wash and pat dry the Romaine lettuce, then chop it into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and peel and dice the cucumber.
In a clear glass bowl or trifle dish, arrange the first layer by spreading the chopped Romaine lettuce evenly at the bottom of the dish.
Add the second layer by evenly scattering the diced cucumber over the lettuce.
For the third layer, evenly spread the cherry tomatoes over the cucumbers. Slice the tomatoes in halves if they are large.
Add the fourth layer by scattering the red onion slices evenly on top of the tomatoes.
The fifth layer is the peas. If using frozen peas, run them under cold water to thaw completely and then pat them dry before adding them.
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl to make the creamy dressing. Stir until smooth, then spread this mixture gently over the peas to create the sixth layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dressing as the seventh layer.
Finally, top the salad with crumbled cooked bacon for a flavorful crunch.
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
