Ingredients
-
Dressing
1 1/2 cups light mayonnaise (not fat-free)
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp salt
Salad
1 large head iceburg lettuce (see tip)
1 1/2 cups very thinly sliced baby carrots
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
1 1/2 cups diced red bell pepper
1 cup frozen green peas
1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon
3 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (see tip)
3/4 cup packed shredded light medium or old (sharp) cheddar cheese (3 oz/85 g)
1/4 cup chopped green onions
Directions
* To make dressing, whisk together all dressing ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
* To assemble salad, tear (don't chop) the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly in serving dish. (Use a dish that's about 9 x 12 inches in size, and at least 3 1/2 inches deep. A standard glass lasagna dish is too shallow.) Top lettuce with carrots, celery, red pepper, peas, bacon, and chicken, in that order.
* Spread dressing evenly over chicken layer and spread to edges like you're icing a cake. Sprinkle cheese over dressing and top with green onions.
* Cover and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.
Cooking TIP: Because the classic version of this salad tens to be loaded with high-fat mayonnaise, it can wreak havoc on your waistline. We've used light mayo to cut the fat by more than 50%, and we've added chopped, cooked chicken breast to make this impressive salad a complete meal. Make sure you refrigerate it overnight before serving - this gives the salad fairies a chance to work their magic. For some reason, this salad just isn't the same when you substitute romaine lettuce for the ordinary iceburg kind. We realize iceburg lettuce doesn't have a heck-of-a-lotta nutritional value, but, oh well! There are lots of other goodies in this salad to make up for it. Also, we like using the meat from a store-bought, rotisserie chicken to make preparation as easy as possible. If you want, you can add a layer of sliced, hard-boiled eggs.
