24-HOUR LAYERED SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the two lettuces together and layer a little more than about 1/2 of the lettuces in the bottom of a large deep casserole dish, or a big glass salad bowl that will allow your family to see the layers. Follow by sprinkling with layers of celery, radishes, bell pepper, green onion, mushrooms, peas, black olives, egg and bacon. Then, top the layers with the remaining lettuces. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar until they are well mixed. Then, carefully spread the dressing (like frosting), as evenly as possible over the top of the salad. Sprinkle with cheddar (and jack if using) cheese. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. This will serve about 8-10 people. Note: To make this a fun Mexican Style Layered Salad, use 2 teaspoons, or more to taste, red pepper sauce to the dressing, add 2 cups of niblet corn kernels, a cup of diced green chiles, and about three of four big handfuls of Fritos Corn Chips before layering on the finishing layer of lettuces. It is important to use the Fritos. They are thicker and will keep some crunch, but you can also use whatever your favorite tortilla chip makes you happiest.
