Layered Lettuce Salad
Wonderful for a summer barbeque when you’re feeding lots of hungry mouths.
Recipe from Ptelea
1 head lettuce, washed
1 cup celery, diced
4 eggs, hard cooked and diced
1 – 300 g package frozen peas (not cooked) – I think I use about ¾ of a cup.
½ cup green or red pepper, diced
1 sweet onion, medium size, diced
8 slices bacon, fried and crumbled
2 cups mayonnaise
2 tbsp. sugar
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups croutons
Tear lettuce into small pieces and put in 9 x 12″ dish. Layer the rest in the order given. Add sugar to mayonnaise and mix well. Spread over top as frosting. Top with cheese. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Do not mix. Sprinkle with croutons just before serving. I also waited until just before serving to put the cheese on.
