Party Vegetable Salad is Card 18 in Section 2 (Salads and their Dressings) of My Great Recipes. This salad is great for a party because you do most of the work the day before.
Select a pretty, deep, clear glass bowl to show off the layers of vegetables. Refrigerate the salad overnight. Just before serving, top with sliced tomatoes, hard-cooked eggs, bacon, and cheese. This is excellent for a buffet meal.
