How To Make mom's big salad
-
1You will need a VERY LARGE SALAD BOWL and a medium size bowl to mix dressing for salad! Wash, clean and prep all the veggies. Then make your dressing. I use a large batter bowl works great, after you have mixed all the dressing ingredients, cover and place in fridge. Next, assemble your salad. Mix iceberg, spinach, onion and parsley together, place in bottom of bowl.Then add other ingredients as listed in layers, finishing with the tomatoes.(do not use diced tomatoes, they will cause salad to get limp and gooey)When salad is layered place all of the dressing over the salad and cover. You may need to use Saran wrap if lid won't fit, you need a BIG BOWL!

2Place covered salad in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. The colder the better. This one is a keeper! If you do not like iceberg lettuce you can use 2 or 3 heads of butter lettuce instead.
