Layered Salad
I've made this salad twice in the last week.  It is major crowd-pleaser.  You may or may not be familiar with this recipe.  It is an oldie but a goodie, so I wanted to make sure I shared it.  I first had this at Thanksgiving for my husband’s family back when we were dating.  My husband's aunt made it, and I immediately wanted the recipe. Every time I make this, everyone always wants the recipe.  So now I share it with you! The possibilities of veggies are up to you.  Some people add eggs, red onions, tomatoes, etc.  I keep mine simple with only green veggies.

Mix up ranch dressing mix, mayo, and sugar.  Set aside.  Layer all ingredients:  lettuce, cucumber, green bell pepper, celery, and green onions.   Top with dollops of dressing and spread over veggies.  Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits.  * Refrigerate at least 3 hours to overnight. I serve mine in a 13 x 9 casserole dish.  You can get a little fancy with a trifle dish if you'd like.  I just find it easier to serve in 13 x 9 dish.
