This is an awesome recipe. Comments were made about the dressing being to thick. My aunt gave me this same recipe but the dressing uses 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream and of course the parmesan cheese and sugar. It makes a creamy dressing and is easier to spread and is soooo good. My family just loves it.

Ingredients

• 1 pound bacon
• 1 large head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
• 10 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup chopped cauliflower or sliced water chestnuts
• 2-3 sliced hard boiled eggs
• 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Crumble and set aside.

In a large flat bowl, place the chopped lettuce and top with a layer of onion, peas, shredded cheese, cauliflower and bacon.

Prepare the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sugar and Parmesan cheese. Drizzle over salad and refrigerate until chilled.
