I had this salad back in the '70's and loved it. I definitely like a "make-ahead" dish. Some may find the Miracle Whip a little too sweet, but I grew up on it so it was fine for me. I used purple onions and since we don't like green pepper I substituted a layer of shredded carrot. I've also had celery and mushrooms in this dish.

This was one of my Mom's favorites! Nice to see it again. I have made it a little differently, layering lettuce, green pepper, onion, celery, and then peas. The peas should be last because they help to "seal" off the lettuce from the dressing. I then "frosted it with Hellman's mayonnaise mixed with about 1 TBS. sugar. Then top with grated cheddar cheese and the bacon on top. Leftovers will keep in the frig for a day or two.

Oh yes, this is a classic! One that will never be left out of a family gathering! I like to make an individual serving eat this for lunch sometimes! I even put in chopped or shredded carrots.

I took this salad to church a few weeks ago...it was the ONLY one that was totally cleaned up! It takes a little while to make it, but it is well worth it. I'm getting ready to make it again, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it! Thanks for the recipe Mona!

A wonderful, classic recipe. My daughter wanted this salad for Christmas dinner, so I let her make it. It turned out great. The only change we made, leaving out the green pepper. My brother-in-law is allergic to it.
