This layered lettuce salad makes a beautiful presentation in a glass bowl. Once the lettuce is in the bowl, place the sliced eggs against the inside perimeter of the bowl for added interest. When you are ready to serve, toss the salad in another extra-large bowl with the dressing of your choice-Italian or balsamic vinaigrette, or creamy Italian.

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
italian salad dressing of your choice
