Hawksnest Salad

[JOH]

This salad is always a real crowd pleaser!


Ingredients:

* 1 1-lb. bag fresh spinach or head lettuce
* 1 head cauliflower, cut in bite-size pieces
* 1 lb. sliced Swiss cheese, cut into strips
* 1 10-oz. pkg. frozen peas, slightly thawed
* salt, to taste
* pepper, to taste
* 5 to 6 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
* 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 1 lb. crisp bacon, crumbled
* 1 cup sugar
* 2 cups mayonnaise

Method:
Make a day ahead. All greens should be thoroughly dried. Use a very large bowl (preferable gl***) and layer in order. After layers are complete, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle sugar on top and completely seal with mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Toss just before serving.

This salad is hearty enough to be a main course when a layer of tuna, cooked chicken or chopped ham is added.
