MOM'S "THE BEST" LETTUCE/PEA SALAD



Mom's

My mom has made this as long as I can remember. It is a crunchy, very tasty salad. It is a "must have" dish at our family gatherings and holidays. It makes a large quanity, but almost never has much leftover. What there is left is fought over to take home! I tried using another brand mayo and making this salad the day of serving, but did not taste as well. For the best salad, use Hellmans real mayo and make this the nite before. If you are a salad fan, I guarantee you will be addicted to this salad. I've also eaten variations with green peppers, canned peas and eggs, but I love this combination the best. Mom never has any complaints, but then, she's the best cook I know! The prep time doesn't include the "drying" time for the lettuce/peas and the overnite time in the fridge.

MOM'S SALAMI AND ICEBERG LETTUCE LUNCH SALAD



Mom's Salami and Iceberg Lettuce Lunch Salad image

My Mom loves this and every time I make it I think of her. You basically take Iceberg lettuce but you can use Romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, Hebrew National Salami chunks, and she always used Wishbone Italian dressing and oregano on top. I sometimes use bagged salad which has shredded carrots and red cabbage too. I like to add hard boiled egg slices. There's a lot you can do with add ins. Enjoy!
