Worth-The-Wait Salad

Hold the ants and the flies! This long-in-coming dish HAS to make its debut at your next picnic! Partial to the checkered-tablecloth-life, Worth-The-Wait Salad is getting impatient and just needs to be on the hot-but-not-sweating-it menu at your next social gathering. Fresh-from-the-garden mixed greens are layered and weighed-down-but-loving-it with crunchy celery, pepped-up green peppers, feisty red onions, and sweet green peas, and are sitting tight and right waiting on that tangy-sweet creamy mayo dressing, ageless cheddar cheese, and succulent crumbled bacon to join them for an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime, got-to-have-it kind of salad. Worth-The-Wait Salad is quick to make and harder to wait for, but we know that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
