With summer parties coming soon, this is a favorite salad of ours. Actually, Jim likes to make this salad, too. It's nice because you make it the night before so it frees up your time on party day! It makes a large bowl, so there is plenty to go around.
Layered Overnight Salad
8 ounces spinach, washed and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/2-1 pound bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled
1 medium onion, diced or thin sliced
4 eggs, hard-cooked, sliced
1 medium head Iceburg lettuce
Salt and pepper, if desired
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
Dressing:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup miracle whip
2 tablespoons sugar
Layer the first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. A tall clear glass bowl makes a pretty centerpiece. Mix dressing ingredients. Spread the dressing over the top, sealing to the edge of the bowl. Cover with lid or plastic wrap tightly. Refrigerate overnight. Before serving sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Toss together at serving time.
Variations: Any other fresh chopped or sliced veggies, frozen or canned (drained) peas, or water chestnuts may be added under the egg layer if desired. Also diced or julienned, cooked ham, chicken or turkey maybe added.
