We dug into this salad, named after a memory game we played with the kids. This colorful layered salad is chock-full of flavorful ingredients and garnished with cute hard-cooked egg-and-olive eyes on the top. Perky eyebrows are made with the sliced white portion of the eggs.—Leslie Dumm, Clevemand Heights, Ohio

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups torn iceberg lettuce
2-1/2 cups torn romaine
3 green onions, sliced
1 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 radishes, thinly sliced
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a 2-qt. salad bowl, layer the first nine ingredients in the order given. Arrange tomatoes and cucumber around the edge. Place two egg halves in the middle of salad for eyes; top with olive halves for pupils.
Remove yolk from the remaining egg halves. For eyelashes, cut six thin slices from egg white; place above eyes (refrigerate leftover egg for another use). Serve the salad with dressing of your choice.
