CLASSIC LAYERED SALAD

Steps:

LAYERED BLUE CHEESE, BACON AND ICEBERG SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the onions in ice water for at least 20 minutes. Strain.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Remove, drain on paper towels and roughly chop.
• Whisk together the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, Worcestershire, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Using a 3-quart straight-sided tall glass bowl for 1 large salad or four 16-ounce wide-mouth glass jars for 4 individual salads, make a layer with a third of the lettuce, then add the following in separate layers: the tomatoes, the olives, half the remaining lettuce, the carrots, the croutons, and the remaining lettuce. Sprinkle the top with the onions and bacon. (The salad can be put together, covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.)
• If making 1 salad, just before serving, transfer it to a large bowl, toss with about half the dressing and season with salt and pepper. If making 4 salads, add dressing to each jar, season with salt and pepper, cover with the lid and shake to coat. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

CHRISTMAS RIBBON SALAD

Refrigerate until almost set, about 2 hours., In a bowl, dissolve lemon gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; whisk in cream cheese until smooth. Stir in pineapple and pecans. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon over first layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour., In a bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in remaining boiling water. Add remaining cold water; stir.

BLUE RIBBON EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Chop the whites (set them aside) and, in a medium mixing bowl, mash up the yolks separately.
• To the finely mashed yolks, add all the ingredients, (except for the chopped whites) saving the mayonnaise for last. Stir as you add each tablespoon of mayonnaise to make sure the mix is not getting too thin. Use only the amount that you need.
• Add the chopped whites to the mix and fold them in carefully.
• Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving on your favorite buns with some leaf lettuce.
• I will note that I prefer using Heinz mustard in this recipe but any brand or regular yellow mustard will do. The "cooking" time refers to refrigeration.

• Repeat the layers again.
• Cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
• Right before it's time to serve, add the bacon and toss, coating most of the greens and other ingredients with the dressing.
