Equipment
Ingredients
For the dressing:
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
- ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the salad:
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce shredded
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1½ cups frozen peas thawed
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- 5 ounces bacon cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Make the dressing. Combine the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Set it aside, in a fridge preferably, so the sugar melts while you make the salad.
- Assemble the salad. In a bowl, start with a layer of shredded lettuce, then add a layer of the chopped red onion, followed by the peas, cheddar cheese, celery, prepared dressing, and bacon on top.
- Chill. Cover and chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use iceberg or romaine lettuce.
- Other veggies can be added, like tomatoes or cucumbers.
- Make sure the sugar dissolves in the dressing.
- For some spiciness, you can add a bit of pepperoncini juice into the dressing or hot sauce.
