Anyone got a receipt for overnight salad they wish to share. I love that stuff but have no idea how to make it. Thanks

LAYERED OVERNIGHT SALAD

Cut full head of lettuce into bite-sized pieces
1 c. chopped celery
1 c. (or 1 lg.) green pepper
1/2 c. green onions, chopped
1 pkg. frozen green peas, do not cook
1 can sliced water chestnuts or sliced radishes
Cheddar cheese, grated
Chopped cooked bacon
Hard cooked eggs (2 or 3)

Use 9 x 13 inch pan. Place ingredients in layers as listed. Cover with a little more lettuce. Then spread dressing (shown below) over the salad and seal edges so it completely covers the salad. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, sprinkle with chopped cooked bacon and chopped hard-cooked eggs.

DRESSING FOR LAYERED OVERNIGHT SALAD:

2 c. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. seasoning salt

I may sound silly, but what is the difference? I've never heard of an overnight salad.

GlindaofOz: I know nothing about cooking let alone any difference but this stuff is the greatest. If you've never had it you need to try it.

This is really good as the flavors blend overnight. If you put it in a clear glass bowl it is very appetizing to look at too!
