Ingredients

1 head of lettuce chopped
2 bunches green onion chopped
1 green pepper chopped
1 red pepper chopped
1 orange pepper chopped
1 yellow pepper chopped
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 12 oz. bags of frozen peas
6 hard-boiled eggs lightly chopped (Air Fryer Eggs for a quick way to make hard-boiled eggs.)
2 cups mayonnaise
2 cups marble jack shredded cheese
½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 4.3 oz. packet of bacon pieces

Instructions

In a small bowl, add all the chopped peppers and mix them up. Set aside.
Spread the chopped lettuce evenly in the bottom of a glass bowl. Top with green onions, peppers, and peas.
Sprinkle the top of the peas with sugar.
Spread mayonnaise on top of the peas.
Add chopped eggs.
Top with marble jack cheese, shredded parmesan cheese, and bacon. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour but overnight is the best!
Uncover and serve cold.

Notes

Substitute Vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables like corn, celery, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini, or broccoli. Options are endless.
Make Ahead. This salad can be made 1 day ahead, it actually tastes the best when you let it chill in the fridge overnight.
Store. Cover the bowl or dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate any leftover salad for up to 2-3 days.
Don't have a large bowl. You can also make this in a 9x13 baking dish too.
