Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Starting with a cold pan helps render the fat slowly for perfectly crispy bacon.
2
Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into small pieces and set aside.
Uns 2 min
3
In a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish, arrange the shredded lettuce in an even layer.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Using a glass bowl shows off the colorful layers of the salad.
4
Layer the diced onion, celery, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper on top of the lettuce.
Uns 3 min
5
Add the drained sweet peas as the final vegetable layer, spreading them evenly.
Uns 1 min
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and granulated sugar until smooth.
Uns 2 min
7
Carefully spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top layer of peas, extending it to the edges of the bowl to create a seal.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: This 'seals' the salad, keeping the vegetables underneath crisp until serving.
8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mayonnaise layer.
Uns 1 min
9
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Uns 8 h
Nota de cuina: Do not stir the salad during this time. Chilling is essential for the flavors to meld.

Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Adding the bacon last ensures it stays crispy.
