8-Layer Salad



This salad is freakin' delicous!  I could eat half the bowl on my own.  No joking.  I know it's not really a fall recipe, but we eat this at every special family dinner it seams - Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, barbecues...the list could go on.  Today is Dusty's Dad's bday and he quite enjoys this salad as well, so we had to brew one up.  Here's the recipe:

1 head iceberg lettuce, bite size pieces
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup green pepper, diced
1 cup green onion, sliced
1 pkg. green peas, thawed under warm water
1 cup mayo
1 cup sour cream
2 T. sugar
1 cup Hormel cooked bacon, or 8 crisp slices, crumbled
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Layer first five ingredients in order given.  Combine mayo, sour cream & sugar & spread over peas like frosting.  Sprinkle with bacon & cheese.  Cover tightly and refrigerate a few hours or overnight.  Do not mix before serving.

(NOTE: Salad will keep longer if you spin your lettuce first)

  1. I've had this before. It's yummy! Only, the one I've had is called 'Sarah's salad' and it has miracle whip instead of sour cream and swiss cheese instead of cheddar.

    IT is SO SO GOOD.
