  • 30 mins
  • 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 head of lettuce, cut up
  • 1 celery stalk, cut up
  • 1 bag unthawed frozen peas
  • 2 cups mayonnaise (or miracle whip)
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 cups shredded colby cheese
  • 1 cup bacon bits
  • 5 boiled eggs, cut up

Preparation

Step 1

Add a layer of hard cooked eggs before the mayonnaise and sprinkle the mayo with a couple tablespoons of sugar. It helps the dressing liquify somewhat to seep down into the veggie layers. To save time, I purchase "real" bacon bits to top the salad.

Layer salad this way:
lettuce on the bottom
celery
peas
eggs
mayonnaise & sugar mix
cheese
bacon on the top

keep cool in the refrigerator until served
