A layered vegetable salad with lettuce, onion, celery, red bell peppers, peas, salad dressing, sugar, cucumbers, shredded cheese and bacon. Cooking time only counts for frying up the bacon. This is a family favorite recipe! Ingredients:
1 head lettuce, torn into bite size pieces |
1/3-1/2 cup chopped onion |
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery |
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (can substitute using green, orange or yellow peppers) |
1 (9 ounce) bag frozen peas, thawed by running under hot water, then blotted with paper toweling |
1 -1 1/4 cup salad dressing |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced (blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture) |
1 (8 ounce) package shredded medium cheddar or 1 (8 ounce) package sharp cheddar cheese |
10 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, layer salad with vegetables and ingredients in order given.
2. Chill 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. This salad is best eaten, shortly after being made.
4. Serves 8.
5. Note: Sometimes I substitute 1-(8 oz.) can of well drained bamboo shoots for the sliced cucumbers. Just be sure to blot the bamboo shoots with paper toweling before placing them on the salad.
