Layered Salad

This takes a little prep work but worth it. I made some changes because I can't eat dairy. I used Kite Hill's cream cheese alternative (One tub) and So Delicious Vanilla Yogurt (6 tbsp) with the spices. I also don't care for peas or bacon so I used Lima Beans and Turkey Sausage in their place. And lastly, I love onions so I added more than the recipe called for. Very creamy and crispy salad that goes a long way - as a side or lunch salad. ??

This was a lovely salad. The only two things I changed: I omitted the seasoning salt and I whisked in a quarter cup of milk for each cup of mayonnaise when making the dressing (from my husband’s recipe).

I changed it up a little due to what I had; skipped water chestnuts and added cucumber instead. I added some mozzarella cheese and parmesan. Diced eggs on the top.. :) Yum!

I made quite a bit changes to this. Either way I am asked to make it every year. I chop instead or tear the lettuce. I make 1/2 the dressing and use lite mayo, replace the chesnuts with a can of drained garbanzo beans, use only 1/2 of a vidalia onion, and make a final layer with some shredded cheese on top of the tomatoes before serving. To save time if I can find it in bulk I will use the pre-cooked bacon and heat it in the microwave. The rest of the ingredients I keep exactly the same. The salad also displays really nice in a clear glass pedestal type bowl.

This salad is sooooo good! I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted celery for water chestnuts,green onions for tomatoes, and omitted the eggs. Excellent salad.
