SIMPLE LAYERED SALAD

Simple Layered Salad image

My husband used to have a restaurant & when we would cater events we always made this salad. It was always a hit and never any leftovers, just a bit different from most on the site. The lettuce stays crisp for several days, excellent for a lite lunch. Hope you enjoy.

Time 12h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 small head of lettuce, torn into bite size pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can English peas
3 -4 hardboiled egg, chopped
1/2 lb bacon, fried & crumbled (I use the real bacon bits, in the jar)
1 lb cheese, shredded, sharp cheddar
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons sugar

Steps:

I use a 13 cup plastic container, with lid.
Mix mayonnaise with seasonings & sugar, make sure sugar dissolves, put aside.
Place lettuce on bottom of container.
Add onion, eggs, then peas.
Put dressing on top of these layers, smooth out & seal to sides of container.
Top dressing with bacon, then cheese as top layer.
Cover & refrigerate for at least 12 hours up to 24 hours.
You can mix it up before serving, but we just portion out what we want.
For a large crowd, you can double or triple this easily and feed a bunch of people.
Cooking time is refrigerator time.

Tips:

Use a variety of colors and textures in your salad to make it visually appealing.
Start with a layer of lettuce or other greens, then add heavier ingredients like meat, cheese, and vegetables.
Use a light dressing or vinaigrette to avoid overpowering the salad.
If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving.
Serve the salad chilled for a refreshing meal.

Conclusion:

Layered salads are a delicious and easy way to get your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They're also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a little creativity, you can create a layered salad that's perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give a layered salad a try.
