24-Hour Green Vegetable Salad

⏱ 1450 mins 🍽 6 serving(s) 🏷 Pork

This is a substantial layered salad designed to be prepared a day in advance. Ingredients including chopped lettuce, hard-boiled eggs, thawed green peas, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese are assembled in a specific order in a glass bowl. The layers are seasoned and topped with mayonnaise before an extended chilling period of 24 to 48 hours, which allows the flavours to meld. It is finished with a garnish of chopped green onion just before serving.
