This layered salad is a family favorite from a church cookbook I've had for 40 years. The bacon adds a fabulous crunch. —Mary Brehm, Cape Coral, Florida

Overnight Layered Lettuce Salad

lettuce,

green pepper, chopped

sweet red pepper, chopped

onion,

peas (about 10 ounces)

mayonnaise

sugar

cheddar cheese

bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

cranberries

I have made this salad for years!  I use a can of LeSeur small peas instead of frozen. I also add some ranch dressing powder mix to the mayo. Just gives it a little extra flavor

Love this, if anyone remembers Piccadilly cafeteria (here in Florida) it’s similar to their Tony salad

I've always loved this salad.  I never thought to add cranberries.  Sounds really good.

I've been making this recipe exactly as written for almost 40 years and, it's always a  BIG hit!. Even wilted the next day, it's terrific.

My mother used to make this salad and was always a favorite as a child.  I still love it and is a perfect salad to bring to family gatherings. It's also a great one to make when I have leftover chicken! Made this today!

Excellent salad. Enjoyed different flavors and creamy understated dressing. Enjoyed the peas and cranberries but too much cheese. Will definitely make again

I'm not a big fan of salads but I loved this!! I served it for my church group carry in and I left out the bacon since there were some vegetatarians in the group. Even without bacon this tastes great and it's so easy to put together!

Oh yum!  This was awesome.  Thanks for hard-boiled egg suggestion.  This will definitely be a summer staple!

A wonderful tasting salad. Left out the peppers. But used everything else. Really like the review with the hard cooked eggs added (sounds delicious). Thanks a million to the person who submitted this one! Was a real hit at our dinner party.

I make this with sliced hard boiled egg, sliced water chestnuts and sliced mushrooms. This was a nice change with the bacon and cranberries

My husband loves this salad just as it is.  So for that and the fact that it is pretty tasty, I give it a 5.   NOW, that being said.... I cannot stand green or red peppers and they make me quite ill so I have had to create a different version of this and substitute shredded broccoli and shredded carrots for the peppers. I leave everything else just the same and I usually make a bit more of the dressing because I cannot abide  a dry salad.  :)   Always a great hit at church potlucks.

I first tasted this at a community potluck, it is delicious, and simple.......5 Stars!

This have been a family favorite for years.  This is a must for any potluck.

I used green onion, instead of regular onion because I wanted a milder onion flavor and I omitted the cranberries.  Delicious!

I've been making this salad for years, it's great when you are feeding a crowd since you can make it the day before.  I've stopped using iceberg lettuce and use romaine and sometimes even a bit of spinach; the darker lettuce seems to have a bit more flavour.  You can definitely play around with the veggies you use except of course for the frozen peas.  I also use three hard boiled eggs, grated just before serving for a bit of additional garnish.  I put in a tin of sliced water chestnuts because I like the crunch but if you are not a water chestnut fan, leave them out,

Was a huge success..the bacon mixed with the dried cranberries gave it a very good taste

Sooooo good and easy! What a great idea! Keeper

The first time I used Miracle Whip and it was ignored by almost everyone.  The 2nd time I went with my standard Hellmann's Mayo and it vanished.  I had not used MW in years and now I remember why.

Love this! was a big hit at work, I made it with half mayo and half greek yogurt

I subbed romaine for the iceberg lettuce.   Family likes it better.  I've been making this salad for years.  I usually put broccoli or cauliflower in it, but I didn't this time.  I thought the cranberries was a nice touch.

I mix 1 cup Hellmann's and 1 cup sour cream with 1 pkg Hidden Valley Dressing mix - Yum!
