Salad
- 1 small iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into pieces
- 236.59 ml Baby Spinach, washed and spun dry
- 236.59 ml frozen corn, rinsed and drained (optional)
- 236.59 ml frozen peas, rinsed and drained
- 354.88 ml celery, thinly sliced
- 236.59 ml petite baby carrots, diced
- 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced
- 59.14 ml very thinly sliced red onion
- 170.09 g sharp cheddar cheese (add more to taste) or 170.09 g monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
- 226.79 g bacon, cooked nice and crisp crumbled into pieces
-
Dressing
- 177.44 ml mayonnaise
- 14.79 ml sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4.92 ml minced chives
- 177.44 ml Greek yogurt
- 28.34 g package Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips Mix
- 14.79 ml white balsamic vinegar
directions
- Layer first 8 ingredients, one at a time, in a large glass bowl so you can see each layer.
- Mix the dressing ingredients together and pour evenly over the salad in the bowl.
- Add a layer of cheese, then a layer of bacon.
- Chill overnight.
- To serve using tongs go straight down into the salad to get all the layers.
-
Optional:
- Make in individual margarita glasses. I would shred the lettuces for ease for eating out of the glass. It`s a nice way to use leftover ingredients from the main salad as well. This way you can bring the trifle to a pot luck and have two for home. ;).

I love recipes with the flexibility of ingredients for (1) personal preference (2) that most people have on hand and (3) allow for easy substitution. Since it was difficult to layer everything in my shallow Margarita glasses, I combined all the veggies into a single layer except for the halved grape tomatoes that I added. I omitted the cucumber & iceberg lettuce as I didn't have any & I substitutued baked tortilla strips for the bacon. I made no changes to the dressing which was very tasty!<br/>This would be perfect dish for a pot luck ........... just reserve the dressing until serving time!
