Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh baby spinach
- 4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 medium-sized red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the baby spinach leaves. Set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will be the dressing for the salad.
Step 3
In a large glass bowl (preferably a trifle bowl for presentation), layer the ingredients as follows: half of the spinach, half of the chopped eggs, half of the cherry tomatoes, half of the red onion slices, half of the peas, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Spread half of the dressing mixture evenly over the first set of layers. Use a spoon or spatula to smooth it out.
Step 5
Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients in the same order: spinach, eggs, cherry tomatoes, red onion, peas, and shredded cheese.
Step 6
Top the second set of layers with the remaining dressing, spreading it evenly across the top.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the final layer of dressing as a garnish.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve chilled. Use a large serving spoon to scoop through the layers and ensure each portion includes a bit of every ingredient.
