Приготовление

Шаг за шагом

1. 1

   Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crisp.

   Около 10 мин

   Совет повара: Starting with a cold pan helps render the fat slowly for perfectly crispy bacon.

2. 2

   Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble it into small pieces and set aside.

   Около 2 мин

3. 3

   In a large, clear glass bowl or trifle dish, arrange the shredded lettuce in an even layer.

   Около 2 мин

   Совет повара: Using a glass bowl shows off the colorful layers of the salad.

4. 4

   Layer the diced onion, celery, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper on top of the lettuce.

   Около 3 мин

5. 5

   Add the drained sweet peas as the final vegetable layer, spreading them evenly.

   Около 1 мин

6. 6

   In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and granulated sugar until smooth.

   Около 2 мин

7. 7

   Carefully spread the mayonnaise mixture over the top layer of peas, extending it to the edges of the bowl to create a seal.

   Около 3 мин

   Совет повара: This 'seals' the salad, keeping the vegetables underneath crisp until serving.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mayonnaise layer.

   Около 1 мин

9. 9

   Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

   Около 8 ч

   Совет повара: Do not stir the salad during this time. Chilling is essential for the flavors to meld.

10. 10

    Just before serving, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top of the cheese.

    Около 1 мин

    Совет повара: Adding the bacon last ensures it stays crispy.
