I had a bunch of romaine lettuce in the fridge to use up...and remembered a salad I used to have as a child, Layered lettuce salad...you layer the ingredients, cover & let set 24 hours before eating...
so I made the recipe LDL friendly...its delicious...it will be a favorite of mine now...encouraging me to eat more of the green stuff a MUST tRY rECIPE....REALLY GOOD!
LAYER IN ORDER GIVEN, I like to use a glass casserole or cake pan
FINELY CUT LETTUCE (crispy like iceberg or romaine) enough to cover bottom of container 1 to 2 inches deep
SUGAR SNAP PEAS, cut each pod into 4 pieces(gives a wonderful sweet, crunch)
KIDNEY BEANS, rinse & drain 1 can
PEAS, USE FROZEN, sprinkle an even layer
CORN, USE FROZEN, sprinkle an even layer
GREEN PEPPER, diced
SCALLIONS, sliced thinly (not too many, a light sprinkle unless you really love the taste of onions)
1 pkg stevia (sprinkle over scallions)
Mix & SPREAD THIS SAUCE OVER THE TOP
1/2 c. Best Foods Olive Oil Mayonaisse (5o cal per T.)
2 T. light Ranch Dressing (optional) I used this because I had it & I wanted to use it up
2 T. Heinz Splenda sweetened Ketchup
3-4 T. Splenda Sweetened Pickles, chop fine
NOTE: Amounts are approximate, you can't mess it up...just make a dressing that is light pink in color & lumpy because of the pickles...make enough to completely cover the scallion layer
STUFFED GREEN OLIVES, cut into rings, SPRINKLE OVER THE MAYONAISSE LAYER ON TOP, pretty & gives a great sweet sour taste)
cover with plastic wrap & let set 24 hours before eating....DELICIOUS!
