Simple Layered Salad
"My husband used to have a restaurant & when we would cater events we always made this salad. It was always a hit and never any leftovers, just a bit different from most on the site. The lettuce stays crisp for several days, excellent for a lite lunch. Hope you enjoy."

This was very quick and easy to make. I needed something quick and cool to make for a meeting I had one night. Got home and the only things I had to cook were the eggs and bacon. Just placed all ingredients in a covered, rectangular, plastic container and that was it. I did not use onion(personal pref) and in the dressing I used season salt and cajun seasoning instead but those were the only changes I made. It was a big hit on a hot, almost-summer evening.

Love to cook & try new recipes. Am an avid saltwater fisherman, go whenever we get the chance. Looking for some different recipes for shrimp. They ran here unbelievable well this year, have 2 freezer full. Tired of the same old stuff.
