Recipe - Alicess Overnight Salad

LAYER 1
1 Head lettuce; torn
1 cn Sliced water chestnuts;
drained
1 md Onion; chopped
1 pack Frozen peas; unthawed

LAYER 2
1 pt Mayonnaise
2 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper

Alice Robertson, my next door neighbor, gave me this recipe in 1977 when we
bought this house right next door to them. We immediately "took" to each
other and we're now closer than sisters.

Layer 2: Mix together and spread over layer 1, being sure you touch the
sides of the bowl to "seal" it.

Layer 3: Sprinkle over layer 2.

Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate overnight.

LAYER 4: Just before serving, add the following to the top of layer 3.

To serve: Do not toss. Dig to the bottom to serve some of each of the four
layers.

This makes a lot, and is great for a makeahead salad. It looks really
pretty in a clear salad bowl so all the layers show through. This was one
of my late motherinlaw's favorites.
