Instructions
Prepare bacon & hard boiled eggs ahead of time. You may have your way of preparing bacon & had boiled eggs, but I will go over quickly my steps for anyone needing them.
BACON: Line a deep sheet with parchment. Line 1 lb of bacon in a single layer on parchment. Place pan in a preheated 425 degree oven and cook for 15-18 minuets until golden brown & crispy. Remove bacon from pan and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate. Once drained, chop bacon into bite size pieces.
HARD BOILED EGGS: Place eggs in a medum sauce pan. Cover with water about 1 inch above top of eggs. Sprinkle salt over eggs to prevent cracking. Place on stove top on high heat and allow to come to a boil. Place lid on and turn off heat for 10 minutes. Place eggs in a cold water/ice bath to stop cooking and cool eggs down. Peel eggs and chop into bite size pieces.
Making Bottom Layered Salad
In a 9" x 13" baking dish spread chopped spring mix lettuce. Place chopped iceberg lettuce on top of spring mix evenly.NOTE: if you can, use a glass 9 x 13 baking dish so you can see layers.
Sprinkle red onion & cucumber over the lettuces in baking dish. Place 1/2 of the cooked bacon on top of salad. Place 1/2 of the hard boiled chopped eggs on top of bacon. Sprinkle 4 oz shredded cheese over bacon.
Making Dressing
In large mixing bowl whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, white granulated sugar, parmesan cheese, salt & black pepper, and 2 TBS milk.
Pour dressing all over salad and smooth evenly.
Making Top Layered Salad
Top with remaining crispy bacon, hard boiled eggs, 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese, pecans, tomatoes, green onions.
Cover and place in refrigerator for a few hours to over night to allow dressing to meld into salad layers. Enjoy.
Catherine this is an amazing salad and the dressing is very yummy. Made a different salad and added the dressing. Keep up the good recipes. I also love seeing your family cook with you and your dog popping in also.
