"This is my prized recipe from my late Grandmother Dee, who made this every Thanksgiving and Christmas for our family. I looked forward to this every year, and now that she is gone, I still have this wonderful recipe to remember her by every time I make it. Even better the next day. Warning: Not for people who don't like mayo, or for people who are on a diet."

ingredients

1 head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped
1 head iceberg lettuce, washed and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
3 small green onions, chopped
1 bunch celery, chopped
salt and pepper
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
1 dozen egg, boiled, peeled and sliced
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen green peas
1 (30 ounce) jar mayonnaise
4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

directions

In a very large bowl (I mean HUGE, even a large stock pot would do in a pinch, or a punch bowl), mix together both lettuces, and squeeze extra water out of lettuce with paper towels, until mostly dry.
Layer the chopped bell pepper, green onion and celery over lettuce.
Top with a layer of the frozen green peas.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and layer sugar evenly over top.
Next layer the sliced eggs.
Spread the mayo over eggs with a rubber spatula, making sure the mayo seals the edges.
Sprinkle cheese over, and then layer the cooked bacon.
Cover bowl with foil and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, toss salad until all ingredients are mixed well.

I love layered salads and this was different in that you add the salt and pepper and sugar, and later spread the mayonnaise. I enjoyed the salad! Thanks Alaina. Made for PAC spring 2012.

I'm a stay at home mom with a 3 year old son, and a student studying for my bachelors in environmental science. I learned how to cook from watching my Grandmother Dee growing up, as well as watching culinary shows after school. My first 'real' culinary try, was creme brulee at age 14, which tasted good but alot like flan. I have alot of my Grandmothers old cookbooks, including a Betty Crocker Recipe Box filled with recipe cards from the 1960's. I LOVE LOVE LOVE vintage cookbooks! Food is definitely a pleasure for me, and I love to change others opinions on eating. I also encourage others to try new things!  My passions are science, music, and art--as well as any DIY project!
