OVERNIGHT LETTUCE SALAD

Overnight Lettuce Salad image

After much trial and error, I came up with this recipe for an easy side salad. When company's coming I don't want to be in the kitchen chopping vegetables, so I make this the day before. The idea for salting the lettuce is from a Cook's Country magazine article, and surprisingly it doesn't make the salad watery!

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.
