Instructions

Start by preparing your ingredients. Wash and chop the green leaf lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber and red onion, dice the bell pepper, and ensure the peas are thawed.
In a large glass bowl or trifle dish, begin the layering process. Place a bed of chopped green leaf lettuce at the bottom of the bowl as the first layer.
Next, add a layer of halved cherry tomatoes on top of the lettuce, followed by a layer of thinly sliced cucumbers.
Continue layering with the red onion, bell pepper, and thawed peas, ensuring each layer is spread evenly to create a visually appealing result.
Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the vegetable layers, followed by a layer of crumbled bacon for added flavor and texture.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, white vinegar, salt, and pepper, whisking until well combined to create a creamy dressing.
Pour the creamy dressing over the layered salad, ensuring it covers the entire surface and seeps through the layers to infuse flavor throughout.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, gently toss the layers to ensure each bite contains a mix of all the delicious ingredients.
Present your Layered Green Salad with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or additional bacon and cheese on top for an extra touch of elegance.
