Aunt Benette's Green Layered Salad
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
1 Large salad
ingredients
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 1 bunch green onion
- 4 -5 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 1 (10 ounce) box frozen peas
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 cup swiss cheese (I like to use lots of cheese)
- 8 slices thickly sliced bacon (the cheap stuff just dosen't crumble and leaves you with too much fat)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
directions
- Cook the bacon until crunchy, drain and crumble into bacon bits.
- Wash, dry, and chop the lettuce and celery.
- Slice the green onions into tiny rings leaving out the white stalk.
- In small bowl mix the sourcream and mayonnaise until well blended and smooth.
- In large glass bowl layer lettuce, then celery, then frozen peas, then green onions.
- Top with mayonnaise mixture, followed by swiss cheese and crumbled bacon pieces.
- This salad should be made ahead of time to insure that the flavors have a chance to mingle and the peas thaw. Sometimes I do it over night but it can be done in as short as 3 hours if you soak the peas in water before adding them.

WOW. What a great salad! I have made Layered Salad before, but never with Swiss Cheese. Also, the topping was a little different from my recipe. I loved these changes. I will be swapping my recipe for this one! I used Best Foods Mayonnaise, instead of Hellmann's, other than that, I followed the recipe exactly as stated.

Yay! We're finally back home in Texas! I just graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, in Scottsdale, AZ and couldn't be happier about being home! Right now I work dinner time at Las Canarias, at "La Mansion", on the Riverwalk when I'm not studying culinary anthropology and hanging out with my gorgeous hubby Dereck. I love recipezaar, and it makes my day everytime I get a comment about how someone enjoyed making one of my dishes for their family. I can't think of anything cooler than that!
