Overnight Layered Salad

Overnight Layered Salad
From the kitchen of Mom

Place in order as layers in a high rimmed bowl:
1 head Iceberg lettuce, shredded
1 bunch green Onions, sliced with tops
1 can sliced Water Chestnuts, drained
1/2 Green Bell Pepper, sliced round
3 stalks Celery, sliced
other vegetables as desired
10 ounce package Peas, frozen

Top and seal with:
2 cups Best Foods mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sugar, sprinkled over mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt, sprinkled
1/4 tsp. garlic powder sprinkled

Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, then add:
3/4 pounds of chopped crispy fried bacon
3 hard cooked eggs, sliced
a few cherry whole tomatoes

I use a high rimmed glass bowl.  I had to search for a while to find one that was tall enough.  I eventually found mine at Goodwill.  It has a silver rim that adds to the presentation.

It’s important that the frozen peas be the top layer, before the mayonnaise.


Pork Chops and Rice


Posted by Erik

I prepared this dish in my apple ceramic baker. The lid has to be soaked for 30 minutes before baking. It keeps everything moist. The instructions included with the ceramic barker included a recipe for pork chops. The original recipe called for cream of mushroom soup, which I exchanged for cream of chicken.

3-4 large pork chops
1 1/2 cup parboiled rice
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 cup milk
1/2 onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon tarragon

Make an even layer of rice in the bottom of the baker. Place pork chops on top. In mixing bowl, combine soup mix and milk. Add onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and tarragon. Pour mix over pork chops and rice. Cover with pre-soaked lid for one hour at 350 degrees.
