- 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon crumbled
For Dressing:
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash all vegetables well. Chop lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces. Keep them ready in separate bowls for easy layering.
Cook the Bacon
- Cook bacon in a pan until crispy. Place on paper towel to remove extra oil. Let it cool, then crumble into small pieces.
Make the Dressing
- In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar and vinegar. Add salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy dressing forms.
Start with Lettuce Layer
- Place chopped lettuce at the bottom of your glass bowl. Spread evenly. This creates a fresh and crunchy base layer.
Add Vegetable Layers
- Add tomatoes, cucumber, peas and onion one by one. Spread each layer evenly. Do not mix them together.
Add Cheese Layer
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the vegetables. This adds a rich and slightly salty flavor to the salad.
Spread the Dressing
- Carefully spread the dressing over the top. Cover all layers completely. This seals the salad and keeps it fresh.
Add Bacon on Top
- Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the dressing. This adds crunch and a smoky flavor to the salad.
Chill Before Serving
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge. Chill for at least 2 hours. This helps flavors blend well.
Serve Fresh
- Serve the salad cold. Scoop deep to get all layers in one serving. Enjoy the mix of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Use fresh and crisp vegetables
- Chill the salad before serving
- Use a clear bowl for a pretty look
- Do not mix layers before serving
- Cook bacon until very crispy
- Adjust dressing sweetness to taste
