This is an old, old recipe that you may have had before, but it makes a great cool supper, and should be made ahead of time. I was once brought this as a 'welcome to the neighborhood' offering and it was sure appreciated after a long day of moving.
Twenty-Four Hour Salad
1/2 lb. bacon, fried and crumbled 1 bag peas, uncooked
1 head lettuce 1 pkg shredded cheddar cheese
1 head cualiflower, separated into 1 pt. mayonnaise
bite-size pieces 1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix
In a bowl, layer lettuce, cauliflower, peas and all but 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Spread top with mayonnaise, sealing edges. Sprinkle Ranch dressing mix over top. Crumble bacon over dressing. Sprinkle with reserved 1/2 cup grated cheese. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, let stand 24 hours or overnight in refrigerator. Toss and serve immediately.

I hope you'll try it and enjoy it. Please report back and let us know.
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,
Beth
