6 slices bacon
4 to 5 cups chopped iceberg lettuce (about 1 head)
2 cups frozen peas, thawed
2 cups shredded carrots (about 6)
4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
2 cups shredded Cheddar, mozzarella and/or Monterey jack cheese
2 cups cherry or baby heirloom tomatoes, halved
Summer Herb Ranch Dressing, recipe follows
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream

  • Arrange the eggs on top, facing them outwards against the side of the bowl. Top with another 1/4 of the lettuce, corn, then the remaining lettuce.
  • Sprinkle with the cheese, then top with the tomatoes and bacon. Serve with the herb ranch dressing on the side.
  • Whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl until combined. Makes about 2 cups.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually have some leftover broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, and this is a great way to use them up. It's also a healthy and delicious side dish.

I've been making this salad for years, and it's one of my favorites. It's so versatile - you can add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. I love adding a bit of crumbled bacon or shredded chicken for extra protein.
