"THIS RECIPE was Mom's scrumptious scheme to get her kids to eat vegetables. She never had any trouble when she served this colorful crunchy salad. Mom thought this salad was a real bonus for the cook since it must be made the night before."

It's been awhile since I've had this salad, but it's just as good as I remember it!

Great salad. I took it to a party and the whole thing was eaten up very quickly. I have made it several times since.

I love layered salads because you can make them ahead, and this is a good one. My husband and 2 sons gave it thumbs up, too. The bacon is a nice contrast in taste. Cut the ingredients in half for a family dinner. If you make sure to spread the dressing to the edge of the bowl and don't leave any holes for the air to get in, it seals the freshness of the veggies in. Since the lettuce is on the bottom, it doesn't get soggy.

The lettuce does not get all soggy?

I've made this salad for many ladies luncheons. I added drained pineapple tidbits.

I made this wonderful salad for a Progressive Dinner and received wonderful reviews so I am making it again for a Baby Shower Brunch.

Thanks Again!
