Instructions:

Commence with a generous layer of iceberg lettuce at the base, then add the tomato wedges, spinach, and Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs. Season the egg layer with salt and pepper to taste. Continue by adding the bacon, green onions, and Cheddar cheese, concluding with the peas.
- For the dressing: Blend the mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the pea layer, ensuring an even spread that reaches the edges of the bowl. Garnish with dill and parsley. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To prepare the hard-boiled eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 20 minutes. Discard the water and add ice on top of the eggs in the pan. Leave aside to cool.
