Wonderful Layer Salad

This is a recipe given to me by my Aunt Patty several years ago.
It's an absolutely WONDERFUL layer salad!

This is one of the tried and true salads that I take to parties and fellowships.
I also use this salad as part of a meal if I am taking dinner to someone.
It is always a big hit and everyone always asks for the recipe.
And it is VERY EASY!

Easy and Impressive. What more do you need?

Start out by boiling about 6 eggs.

Then fry up about a pound of bacon.
Or if I am in a hurry I sometimes use already cooked bacon
pieces (not bits, pieces) (there IS a difference).
I actually like to use Turkey Bacon. I feel just a little better about it.
The BEST turkey bacon I've found to use is Oscar Mayer.
I've tried several and this is the only one to pass the test.

I usually cook this in the microwave, but when I am making it for someone else,
I like to fry it in a pan with a little canola oil.
It has a better texture and flavor and is still better for you than full fat bacon.

Take a head of romaine lettuce and tear it up into bite size pieces.
Then rinse it and run it through the salad spinner.

I LOVE my salad spinner!

Add either a bag of spinach or a bag
of spring mix salad and then mix it all together.


Next comes the green onions.
Chop up about 5 or 6 excluding the very ends, of course.

Then toss it on the salad.

Next comes the bacon.
Crumble it up and toss on top of the green onions.
(could this BE any easier)

Next is a small bag of frozen peas.
You guessed it... toss it on the bacon.
I like the petite peas but any bag of frozen peas will do.

Peel and chop up the boiled eggs.

And toss them on the peas.

The salad is topped with the dressing.

Mix together:
2 cups of Mayonnaise
1 cup Sour Cream
1 Pkg Hidden Valley Ranch

Mix it all together until it is thoroughly combined.

Then ice it on the top of the salad.
If you have any left over, it makes a nice veggie dip!

There you have it!
A new and easy wonderfully delicious favorite salad!
Hope you enjoy and let me know if you make it and what you think!
