Potluck Layer Salad image

An old friend gave me this recipe at one pot luck, and we and have been using it for many many years. Since I get asked so often to share the recipe, here I am posting it even though I see other great layer salad recipes here. Try to use a nice big transparent container with less variation of surface area from bottom to top (if possible) as you layer the ingredients.

Time 25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups shredded lettuce
salt
pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
4 hard-boiled eggs (sliced or chopped)
1/2 lb crumbled bacon (can use 1 jar Hormel Bacon Bits)
3 cups shredded lettuce
10 ounces frozen baby peas
1 cup mayonnaise (spread on top)
1/4-1/2 cup grated swiss cheese (arond the edges of top)
1/3-1/2 cup bacon bits (in middle on top)
1/4-1/3 cup chopped green onion (sprinkle over all)

Steps:

  • Thaw peas and boil eggs first while working on shredding the lettuce and the cheese.
  • Start layering the ingredients in the order specified. Vary the amount of.
  • salt according to the "saltiness" of the swiss cheese (or as you wish).
  • When using egg cutter to slice the boiled eggs, carefully rotate the first slice set 90 degrees and cut them again to result in evenly chopped eggs. Otherwise just chop as you wish and spread the yolk and white evenly.
  • Grated swiss cheese around the top edge can be substituted with shredded to make it simpler (which I have always done).
  • Vary amount of green onion accordingly (with respect to the area of the top layer).
  • Refrigerate several hours before serving.
