A salad like this one is an appealing accompaniment to almost any dinner. You can change the mix of ingredients to include layers of your favorites. I like the tangy vinaigrette dressing with it, but ranch and other types are also very good. -Elaine Anderson Aliquippa, Pennsylvania

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

mixed salad greens
yellow bell pepper chopped
frozen peas thawed
purple onion chopped
tomato seeded and chopped
cucumber sliced length wise then sliced
fresh brocolli chopped
boiled eggs sliced (used yellow if you want)
celery stalks sliced
crab meat (artificial), shrimp,or ham chopped if allergic
mayonaise (lf or ff if you prefer)
4 Tbsp white sugar or splenda
cajun seasoning (i use slap ya momma)
4 c sharp shredded cheese
6 slice bacon cooked very crisp crumbled

Steps:

1. Layer above ingredients in glass bowl being sure to have enough of first 9 ingredients to make a full layer to fit in your size bowl. It should look very attractive from the outside. I slice or chop or cut mine rather large so they are forkable and viewable.
2. Place the meat you choose on top of vegetables.
3. Spread with enough MAYONAISE (not salad dressing) to spread 1/2 inch or more making a full layer.
4. sprinkle sugar or splenda on top of mayonaise .
5. sprinkle cajun seasoning as much as you like on top of this (I use a liberal amount but you can still see through it)
6. put all cheese on top (this is home grated cheese not out of bag)
7. sprinkle with crumbled bacon.
8. cover and refridgerate at least 2 hours before serving but over night is even better !
