GREEN PEA LAYERED SALAD RECIPE
This is one of the best salad crowd pleaser recipes, that always looks pretty and tastes delicious too.
Ingredients
- 5 oz. lettuce or spinach
- 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 6 large eggs hard boiled and chopped
- 1 10 oz. package frozen green peas thawed
- 6 green onions chopped
- 2 celery stalks chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered optional
- 12 oz. mayonnaise
- 1 tbs. granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large clear bowl or trifle bowl layer the first 3 ingredients starting with the lettuce, bacon and eggs. Add salt and fresh cracked pepper.
- Continue layering with the next 5 ingredients in this order - green peas, green onions, celery and cherry tomatoes. I don't always include cherry tomatoes in this recipe, so I'm listing them as optional.
- Combine mayonnaise and sugar and cover the top of the salad. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and more cracked pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to toss and serve.
Notes
Green pea layered salad can be made the night before or early in the day, but don't toss the salad until you're ready to serve it.
Sometimes I make this recipe with red onions instead of green onions, so it's up to you on which one you prefer.
You can also make it with spinach or romaine instead of mixed salad greens.
