Layered Salad
Original community recipe submitted by Jane Bradley.
Gather
Ingredients
- 1 medium head lettuce, torn into pieces
- ¼–½ cup chopped or sliced onion (print is faint)
- ½ cup sliced celery
- 1 can sliced water chestnuts, drained
- 1 box frozen peas
- 1 cup margarine (as printed; unusual amount, verify before preparing)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
Prepare
Directions
- The day before serving, arrange lettuce, onion, celery, water chestnuts and frozen peas in layers in a straight-sided bowl, in that order.
- The source instructs mixing margarine with sugar and spreading this over the top of the five ingredients. Because the printed 'margarine' quantity is unusual for a layered salad, verify against the source before making.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over the top. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Mix just before serving.
Kitchen Notes
The source appears to read '1 cup margarine.' This may be a printing mistake for mayonnaise, but no substitution has been made without confirmation. Uncertain onion amount is flagged rather than invented.
