Layered Christmas Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For Salad
1 (8 ounce) bag mixed greens
2 (5 ounce) cans sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 green pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cucumbers, peeled, sliced
2 small tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
For Topping
3 cups mayonnaise
1 (1 ounce) package salad dressing mix
bacon bits
4 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
2 tomatoes, cut into eight wedges

Preparation

Layer all of the salad ingredients in a clear glass bowl in the order above, beginning with the greens and ending with the frozen peas.
Mix the dressing mix into the mayonnaise to taste (about 1/2 to 3/4 of the package). Spread the mixture over the salad so that it is completely covered. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
Just before serving, garnish the top by alternating egg and tomato slices on the top. Sprinkle bacon bits over the top.
