Ingredients

• 6 pieces hard-boiled eggs
• 6 cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 2 cups leftover ham, diced
• 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the hard-boiled eggs and slice them into thin rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

In a clear glass bowl or trifle dish, layer the ingredients to create a visually striking dish. Start with the chopped romaine lettuce as the base layer.

Step 3

Next, evenly spread the diced ham over the lettuce layer.

Step 4

Add a layer of thawed peas, followed by a layer of halved grape tomatoes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese as the next layer, followed by the sliced green onions for added color and flavor.

Step 6

Carefully arrange the sliced hard-boiled eggs in a single layer on top, ensuring they look neat and uniform.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth. This will serve as the dressing for the salad.

Step 8

Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the salad, making sure it reaches the edges to seal in the layers.

Step 9

Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish the top with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color.

Step 11

Serve chilled and use a long-handled spoon to scoop through all the layers for the perfect bite of salad!
