Ingredients

• 6 cups Romaine lettuce
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
• 8 slices Cooked bacon
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 large Hard-boiled eggs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and layer it evenly on the bottom of a large trifle dish or glass salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and scatter them over the lettuce layer.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber, slice it thinly, and arrange the slices on top of the tomatoes.

Step 4

Finely slice the red onion and distribute it evenly over the cucumber layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the frozen peas (no need to thaw) over the red onion layer.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 7

Spread the dressing in an even layer over the peas, ensuring it reaches the edges of the bowl to seal the layers underneath.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the dressing layer.

Step 9

Chop or crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 10

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs, then layer them on top of the bacon.

Step 11

Garnish the top of the salad with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Step 12

Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 13

Serve chilled by scooping through all the layers to get a mix of every ingredient in each serving.
