7 Layer Salad

This is a great salad for a potluck or BBQ Cookout. Easy to make and I never have leftovers!

Ingredients:

• 2 heads of lettuce
• 1 can of baby peas, drained

• 4 oz. shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby, or Colby jack)
• 1 lb. bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 1/2 of a red onion (can substitute Vidalia)
• 3 - 4 Tbsp. Miracle Whip

Directions:

Assemble the night before serving and store in the refrigerator. In a large bowl, layer the ingredients in the following pattern:

• Entire can of drained peas
• 1/3 of the lettuce, torn in bite sized pieces
• 4 oz. shredded cheese
• Another 1/3 of lettuce, torn in bite sized pieces
• Sprinkle the crumbled bacon next
• The last 1/3 of the torn lettuce
• Chop 1/2 of the red onion and sprinkle on top

Dollop the 3 - 4 tablespoons of Miracle Whip in the center on top. Cover well with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. Toss just before serving.

This is a regularly requested item at many family gatherings. I've taken this to work potlucks, family reunions, picnics, and even made it for several of my sister-in-law's bridal showers and baby showers! I'm always asked for the recipe and it always goes fast!
