Fremgangsmåde

Trin for trin

1
Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp.
Ca. 10 min.
Kokkens note: 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.
Ca. 2 min.
3
In a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish, arrange the shredded lettuce in an even layer.
Ca. 2 min.
Kokkens note: 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.
Ca. 3 min.
5
Add the drained sweet peas as the final vegetable layer, spreading them evenly.
Ca. 1 min.
6
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and granulated sugar until smooth.
Ca. 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.
Ca. 3 min.
Kokkens note: This 'seals' the salad, keeping the vegetables underneath crisp until serving.
8
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mayonnaise layer.
Ca. 1 min.
9
Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
Ca. 8 t.
Kokkens note: Do not stir the salad during this time. Chilling is essential for the flavors to meld.
10
Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the cheese.
Ca. 1 min.
Kokkens note: Adding the bacon last ensures it stays crispy.
