I'm a 77-year-old great-grandmother and have been making this satisfying salad for years. It's my most requested recipe for family gatherings. It's simple to make ahead of time and looks lovely with all of its tasty layers. Dijon mustard gives a nice kick to the dressing. -Noreen Meyer, Madison, Wisconsin

This salad always gets compliments from the many people I have made it for... Many are surprised how well the pasta and lettuce go together. I make it in a 9 x 13 glass pan -- it's easier to dish out and your sure to get a taste of all ingredients. This is a favorite for sure!

This is a big hit whenever I make it. I usually omit the peas and it's still delicious

Love this salad. I have made it many times for potluck dinners and I do not bring any home.

I love making layered salads. I liked the added ingredient of pasta. I made this for a brunch and my girlfriends loved it and all asked for the recipe.

Just found a new fave salad!! This is sooo good - did exactly as the recipe said except I omitted the eggs because my Hubby can't stand them! Went down really well and the leftovers are great the next day too.

This is AMAZING! I substituted red onion for the green onions, and turkey for the salami - fabulous!

I got this recipe from a friend, except her recipe called for italian dressing instead of oil, and cheddar instead of Monterey or Colby. For the meat she uses whatever lunch meat she has, cut into strips. It is sooooo good!

I remember eating this a very long time ago when I was a kid- glad to see someone is still sharing it!
