Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the salad.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Top the salad with the crumbled bacon, croutons, and chopped green onions for added crunch and flavor.
