Ingredients

• 6 cups Romaine lettuce
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large English cucumber
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 cups Frozen peas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices Cooked bacon
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and thoroughly dry the romaine lettuce. Chop it into bite-sized pieces and layer it evenly at the bottom of a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish.

Step 2

Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them evenly over the lettuce layer.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber if desired, slice it thinly, and layer the slices on top of the tomatoes.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into rings. Spread the onion rings evenly over the cucumber layer.

Step 5

Thaw the frozen peas under cool water or at room temperature. Pat them dry and add them as the next layer in the bowl.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the peas.

Step 7

Cook the bacon until crispy, crumble it into small pieces, and add it as the final layer on top of the cheese.

Step 8

In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well blended.

Step 9

Spread the dressing mixture evenly over the top of the salad, covering it entirely to seal in the layers beneath.

Step 10

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Just before serving, you can optionally garnish the top of the salad with additional shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped fresh parsley for presentation.
