Ingredients
  

  • carrots shreded - 8 carrot
  • iceberg lettuce, - 1 head shreded
  • peas - 1 small defrosted bag frozen peas
  • 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup bacon bits

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large bowl with the shredded Ice Berg Lettuce (Do not substitute anything else, otherwise it will get mushy).
  • Layer the carrots on top of the lettuce.
  • Then layer in the defrosted peas.
  • Over the peas layer in the onions.
  • Then completely seal the whole salad with a thick whole egg mayonnaise. Mound the mayonnaise in the middle of the salad and spread to the outside of the bowl, like icing a cake. It is important to remember to completely seal the bowl with mayonnaise in order for the flavors to blend properly.
  • On top of the mayonnaise spread the shredded cheese around the outside of the bowl (in a ring).
  • Then spread the bacon bits around in the middle. Don't use real bacon because you need the strong flavor and crunch of the soy-based Bacon Bits.
  • Tightly seal with plastic wrap let it sit in the fridge overnight or up to 24 hours before serving.
  • Leftover salad is great the next day.
