Questions & Reviews

Julie says:

Looks great! So then do you toss it before serving or just scoop it out trying to get all the layers?
Kris says:

So you make it and let it sit in the frig for eight hours before mixing?
Shaffer Sisters says:

This is the salad that my grandma always made! She made it in a 9X13. When I made it a while ago I used the frozen peas and put them in still partially frozen. 5 minutes later it was perfect! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
brenda o says:

this recipe is great for a take-along. the frozen peas in the bottom of the salad bowl tends to help things stay fresh and chilled AND bacon bit helps with things when one is in a hurry.
Eric Pepple says:

Happy Blogging!

Six Sisters says:

You let it sit in the fridge and the flavors all kind of mix together. You don't really mix it when you eat it. You dish it out and try to get all the layers on your plate! It is so yummy!
Six Sisters says:

No tossing...just scoop and get all the layers on your plate! :)

Picture looks like it has grated carrot in it but it's not in the recipe list?
L. Gale says:

That's cheese!
Cyd says:

It's grated cheese. You could totally add carrots to this recipe if you wanted too. A great way to get in more veggies.
Maria says:

Great!!
Sharon says:

We have been adding a layer of sliced fresh mushrooms and a layer of chopped cauliflower. Lets me get a few more veggies in our meal. We love it.
Sheila Cook says:

Been eating this salad since the '70's. Love it. I think it's important that the dressing on top covers the entire top to the outside edges, basically sealing it. I think that's what makes it taste so good: melding all the flavors.
