Ingredients

• 4 cups Romaine lettuce
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1.5 cups Frozen peas
• 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the base layer: Wash and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and layer it evenly in the bottom of a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and create the second layer by spreading them evenly over the lettuce.

Step 3

Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Add the diced cucumber on top of the tomatoes to form the third layer.

Step 4

Finely slice the red onion into thin rings or half-moons. Spread them as the fourth layer over the cucumber.

Step 5

Take the frozen peas straight from the freezer and sprinkle them evenly to create the fifth layer. No need to thaw, as they will defrost in the salad.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the peas, ensuring it forms a uniform sixth layer.

Step 7

Top the cheddar cheese with the crumbled bacon to complete the seventh layer.

Step 8

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 9

Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the salad, ensuring it completely covers the bacon layer to seal the freshness inside.

Step 10

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

Step 11

When ready to serve, use a large spoon to scoop down through all the layers, ensuring each serving includes every component of the salad. Enjoy!
