Overnight Layered Lettuce Salad
This classic is a family favorite from a church cookbook I've had for 40 years. The bacon adds a fabulous crunch. —Mary Brehm, Cape Coral, Florida

I make this with sliced hard boiled egg, sliced water chestnuts and sliced mushrooms. This was a nice change with the bacon and cranberries
Excellent salad. Enjoyed different flavors and creamy understated dressing. Enjoyed the peas and cranberries but too much cheese. Will definitely make again
We Tried it and we loved it
I've been making this recipe exactly as written for almost 40 years and, it's always a BIG hit!. Even wilted the next day, it's terrific.
Sooooo good and easy! What a great idea! Keeper
why do people put peas in everything!!!
I mix 1 cup Hellmann's and 1 cup sour cream with 1 pkg Hidden Valley Dressing mix - Yum!
I use green onions, and chopped hard boiled eggs. Then I slice a cucumber in half and rim the bowl. Adds a pretty fresh look and taste
I used green onion, instead of regular onion because I wanted a milder onion flavor and I omitted the cranberries. Delicious!
This have been a family favorite for years. This is a must for any potluck.
