Ingredients

1 Head iceberg Lettuce chopped
12 ounces Frozen Peas
2 ½ cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 Red Onion chopped
6 Hard Boiled Eggs chopped
¾ pound Bacon cooked and crumbled

For the Dressing:

½ cup Mayonnaise
½ cup Sour Cream
1 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

Mix together the dressing ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the other salad ingredients.
Prepare the other salad ingredients. Chop the lettuce and red onion. Shred the cheese and prepare the eggs and bacon.
Layer all the ingredients in a clear glass bowl or trifle dish (I love using trifle bowl).
Spread the lettuce into the bottom of the dish. Top with the onions, peas and hard boiled eggs. Pour the dressing on top of the hard boiled eggs and top with the shredded cheese and bacon. Make sure to layer all the ingredients and do not mix them together.
Then the salad is ready to serve and enjoy! Serve without mixing the layers and when serving scoop down to the bottom of the dish to get all the ingredients when enjoying this salad.

Notes

I recommend shredding your own cheese for the best flavor in this salad recipe. This salad can be made up to 1 day before serving it.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.

It's best served within 1-2 days as the ingredients will become soggy from the dressing in the salad.
