Posted by: NavyGrammyTX: here is the basic recipe I used for my layered salad. I think you can put just about anything in it that you want. I've noted in parentheses the things I changed/added.

I also used a layer of baby spinach leaves. I tossed the bacon pieces with 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese. Although I didn't use them this time, I've also added a layer of sliced water chestnuts at times. Or sliced black olives or mix a couple of tablespoons ofRanch dressing mix in with the mayo and sour cream instead of sugar. That's what's so much fun about this recipe; you can use your imagination.
