Follow The Directions

01

Step

**Layering the Salad (15 minutes):** In a 3-quart clear bowl, create the foundation with 3 cups of shredded romaine lettuce. Artfully layer in the following order: halved cherry tomatoes, chopped yellow bell pepper, chopped fennel bulb, the remaining 3 cups of romaine, cubed mozzarella cheese, and chopped bison pepperoni.

02

Step

**Preparing the Basil-Sour Cream Dressing (5 minutes):** In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, chopped fresh basil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

03

Step

**Final Assembly and Serving (2 minutes):** Gently spoon the Basil-Sour Cream Dressing over the layered salad, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Serve immediately for the freshest experience, or cover tightly and chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the dressing.
If you don't have bison pepperoni, you can substitute regular pepperoni or another type of Italian sausage.
Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences and what's in season. Cucumber, red onion, or artichoke hearts would all be delicious additions.
Make sure to use a clear bowl to showcase the beautiful layers of the salad!
