This layered garden salad is a delightful and visually appealing dish, perfect for gatherings or as a refreshing meal.
Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large glass bowl.
Using a mix of lettuce types can add more texture and flavor to your salad.
Layer the hard-boiled eggs, green onion, celery, and green bell pepper over the lettuce in the bowl.
Arrange the layers evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream in a small bowl to create the dressing.
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the dressing for enhanced flavor.
Spread the dressing evenly over the top of the salad, ensuring it reaches the edges to seal the layers.
Use the back of a spoon to spread the dressing smoothly.
Sprinkle the crispy bacon and shredded cheese over the dressing.
For extra crunch, add some toasted nuts or seeds as a topping.
Cover the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
