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

  • 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.
