directions

  • Also need 1 beautiful glass bowl, preferably with straight sides.
  • Tear the lettuce into bite sized pieces and put 1/2 the lettuce in the bowl, spreading evenly.
  • Clean the spinach, remove stems, and tear in bite sized pieces.
  • Spread 1/2 the spinach in over the lettuce.
  • Spread 1/2 of the eggs over the spinach.
  • Spread 1/2 of the bacon over the eggs.
  • Spread 1/2 of the peas over the bacon.
  • Sprinkle the peas with sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix the sour cream and mayo.
  • Spread 1/2 the dressing over the salad.
  • Repeat the layers, ending with the second layer of salad dressing.
  • Top the dressing with the cheese.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
  • Before serving the salad, clean the green onions and slice the root off.
  • Cut all the onions the same length (about 2" taller than the bowl).
  • Unwrap the bowl, and imagine the bowl is the face of a clock.
  • Slide one green onion down between the salad and the bowl at each point of the clock, with the top of the onion sticking above the bowl.
  • If there are any green onions remaining after you've used 12, then slice the remaining onions and tops and sprinkle over the salad.
  • Use the optional ingredients for other layers, or to vary the salad the next time you make it.
  • This salad is so pretty, you may have to take the first serving: people won't want to'mess it up'.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
