Instructions:
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sweetener (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Layer the Salad: In a large glass bowl or trifle dish, layer the salad ingredients in the following order:
- Start with a base layer of chopped lettuce.
- Add the diced cucumber as the next layer.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the cucumbers.
- Add the chopped hard-boiled eggs in a layer over the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the eggs.
- Spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the bacon.
- Finish with the sliced green onions.
- Add the Dressing: Carefully spread the dressing over the top layer of the salad, covering it completely. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours) before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and makes for a refreshing, chilled salad.
- Serve and Enjoy: When ready to serve, garnish with extra bacon or green onions, if desired. Scoop down through the layers for a full flavor in each serving.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling a bit of fresh parsley or chives on top.
- Feel free to add or substitute layers with other keto-friendly veggies like bell peppers, avocado, or celery for extra crunch.
