Dinner Salad
Source: A friend from Temple, TX gave me this recipe about 25 years ago. Loved it then, love it now!
Perfect to serve for company - Can be prepared ahead of time.
Layer in a Wooden Bowl - I use a regular large salad bowl:1 head iceberg lettuce
2 1/2 cup water chestnuts (sliced)
2 1/2 cup cooked chicken, tuna, or shrimp (I just use Deli-Shaved Honey Turkey)
Mix the following and spread over above:1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup minced onion
Spread:1 package frozen peas (uncooked) over all. I used a bag.
Completely cover entire mixture with:1 pint of regular mayonnaise (Do not use Fat Free Mayo)
Sprinkle:3 Tbsp. sugar over mayonnaise.
Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours before serving.
When ready to serve, spread:6 oz. grated cheddar cheese
8 slices fried bacon (use real bacon - Do not use bacon bits!)
3 grated or chopped hard boiled eggs.
Do not mix. Serve from bottom of bowl up through salad.
