Layered Salad


Here is my version of a layered salad, well my mom taught it to me (of course) so I guess you can call it her version. :) You can add or omit ANY ingredients you would like with this salad. Sometimes I add crispy, crumbled bacon and tomatoes on top, other times I leave it out and just top with fresh parmesan shavings. This salad is so yummy and versatile!


Ingredients:
-  1 head of iceberg lettuce, chopped
- 2  celery stalks, chopped
- 1/2 small red onion, chopped
- 1 small green pepper, finely chopped
- 3/4 to 1 cup frozen young green peas, partially thawed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt & pepper to taste
- fresh parmesan, shaved

Add a little salt and pepper to chopped lettuce. Start layering lettuce, celery, onion, green pepper and peas in a large bowl. (Glass looks best, so you can see all the layers.) Mix mayo and sugar together. Spread over salad to seal. Top with parmesan shavings. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

*Top with any additional ingredients you would like. (croutons, bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, tomatoes, etc...it's all up to you! ENJOY!
