LAYERED CHEF SALAD
I cut this recipe out of my local newspaper and altered it slightly to my tastes. This is a great summer supper. Perfect for a hot evening and it looks pretty enough for company when put together in a trifle bowl. Try different lettuces and dressings. It's also a great way to use your garden lettuce, cukes, and tomatoes. Speed up the preparation by using a bag of salad and a bag of shredded carrots. You can make it your own by adding herbs, avocados, artichokes or mushrooms or switching the peas for corn.
