Recipe Friday, August 5th - Twenty-Four Hour Salad

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.

From an Amish friend in Colorado.

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