Layered lettuce salad

The idea here is layers, so choose whatever sounds good to you. Chopped up water chestnuts are a nice addition. If I make this in a deep bowl, I make more dressing and make two sets of layers, with dressing in between the two sets.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 head lettuce
  • 1 pkg. frozen peas
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 lb. sliced bacon fried crisp and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup green peppers diced
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese plus a little more for garnish

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tblsp sugar
  • splash of lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Tear lettuce and place in a large, see-through glass bowl.
  2. Layer ingredients in order given.
  3. Combine sugar and mayonnaise; spread mixture on top of salad.
  4. Sprinkle with more cheese.
  5. Refrigerate overnight.
