Potluck Layer Salad

Ingredients

• 3 cups shredded lettuce
• salt
• pepper
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 4 hard-boiled eggs (sliced or chopped)
• 1/2 lb crumbled bacon (can use 1 jar Hormel Bacon Bits)
• 3 cups shredded lettuce
• 10 ounces frozen baby peas
• 1 cup mayonnaise (spread on top)

TOP LAYER (finishing touch)

• 1/4-1/2 cup grated swiss cheese (arond the edges of top)
• 1/3-1/2 cup bacon bit (in middle on top)
• 1/4-1/3 cup chopped green onion (sprinkle over all)

Directions

1. 1

   Thaw peas and boil eggs first while working on shredding the lettuce and the cheese.

2. 2

   Start layering the ingredients in the order specified. Vary the amount of.

3. 3

   salt according to the "saltiness" of the swiss cheese (or as you wish).

4. 4

   When using egg cutter to slice the boiled eggs, carefully rotate the first slice set 90 degrees and cut them again to result in evenly chopped eggs. Otherwise just chop as you wish and spread the yolk and white evenly.

5. 5

   Grated swiss cheese around the top edge can be substituted with shredded to make it simpler (which I have always done).

6. 6

   Vary amount of green onion accordingly (with respect to the area of the top layer).

7. 7

   Refrigerate several hours before serving.
