Toss before serving. Serves 12. You can halve or double this recipe. Add other ingredients, if you choose, too. Kidney beans are a good addition, as is diced red bell pepper. Chopped mushrooms are liked, too, by many.

How funny. That's almost exactly like "Overnight Salad" except upside down! Interesting that the dressing is on the bottom.

In the overnight one, the point is to spread the mayonnaise completely over the salad ingredients, touching all sides of the bowl to seal it in. That way, the lettuce never browns and it can stay in the fridge a couple of days, if need be, until time to take it wherever, toss it and serve.

It's layered with lettuce on bottom, then cut-up pieces of broccoli and cauliflower; then green onions, then pieces of crumbled crisp bacon, then green peas; then 1 cup of shredded or grated Parmesan; then mayonnaise over all, sealed to the edges. Sounds simple; tastes wonderful after tossing.
