Paw Paw's 7 Layer Salad

Paw Paw's 7 Layer Salad

My mother-n-law, Marilyn McDaniel (Paw Paw), used to make this salad when we would have London Broil (a.k.a. Candy Meat-the recipe is in my Notes section). It's one of my favorite salads, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Ingredients and How to Make:

In a 9 x 13 pan, layer the ingredients as follows:

• 1 Head of Lettuce (Chopped into small pieces)
• 1 Cup of Celery (Chopped)
• 1 Cup of Green Pepper (Chopped)
• 1 Large Sweet Onion (Chopped)
• Mix together 2 cups of mayonnaise with 2 tablespoons of sugar and spread over the greens
• Sprinkle 1 package of frozen peas (I think around 12 oz) over the mayonnaise/greens
• Sprinkle ½ cup of grated cheddar cheese over the peas
• Spread 6-8 slices of crumbled bacon over the grated cheese
• Cool in refrigerator for 24 hours

“I've never cooled that long-I vary amts. Depends on what I've got and how much I want to have...if you are that efficient! Be sure veggies are dry or they get soupy while cooling that long!!” (Paw Paw's notes.)

Enjoy!
