On top of it, layer with cucumber, peeled and cut into a half-moon shape. Season with salt and pepper before adding the cherry tomatoes (cut in half), place it between the eggs. Sprinkle peas and shredded cheese on the side and lightly on the center. For the dressing, prepare a mixing bowl then put mayo, sour cream, sugar, and milk. Using a whisk, mix until well combined. Pour in the middle of the salad bowl and smooth out evenly. Top with baked bacon then lightly sprinkle with peas and cheese.
