1/2 head lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 head cauliflower, in bite-size pieces
1/2 head lettuce on top, in bite-size pieces
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 jar Bacon Bits
1 can chopped ripe olives
1 pint Hellman's mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Spread mayonnaise over, sprinkle cheese. Overnight.
More specifically, in a very large bowl (preferably a straight-sided glass
bowl,
such as a trifle bowl), layer the salad ingredients (lettuce through
olives) in the order
given. Spread the mayonnaise over the top layer,
spreading it all the way to the side of
the bowl. Sprinkle Parmesan
cheese over mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Yum!
Here's another great one...
1 pound fresh spinach, torn
1 medium head lettuce, torn
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
6 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
One 8-ounce can water chestnuts,
drained and sliced
One 10-ounce package frozen English
peas, thawed
1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 of a .4-ounce package of buttermilk-
mayonnaise
dressing mix, such as
Hidden Valley
Minced parsley and chives
In a large salad bowl, layer spinach, lettuce, eggs, bacon, water
chestnuts
and English peas. Combine, mayonnaise or salad dressing, sour cream
and dressing
mix and mix well. Spread over top of vegetables, sealing to
edge of bowl. Garnish with
parsley and chives.
Cover tightly and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Toss gently
before serving.
Makes a lot!
(That's the way the recipe came to me - I would say 8
servings.)
Yet Another Layered Salad
1 head iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
One 10-ounce package frozen peas, thawed
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
4 or 5 carrots, grated
1 pound bacon crisply fried, crumbled
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup salad dressing
One 6-ounce package croutons
In the bottom of a large glass bowl place lettuce. Layer cheese,
peas,
mushrooms, carrots, bacon and onion on top of lettuce in the order
given. Spread
salad dressing over top. Cover and refrigerate 24 to
36
hours. Before serving, add
croutons and mix. (Also makes a lot!)
Each of these recipes has its own particular charm. I would
be hard
pressed to
say which is my favorite... it depends on the occasion, the
availability
of fresh ingredients and, of course, my mood!
You can see how easily these salads lend
themselves to variety. Just
let your imagination run wild, and, most of all, enjoy
your
veggies!
