Fourth of July Salad

Description: I received this recipe after having it at a 4th of July party. Hence the name for this different 7 layer salad. This is a great tasting and looking salad. When I make this salad for just us, I keep all ingredients separate, then I don't have soggy lettuce the next time I eat the salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 head lettuce, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, sliced diagonally
• 1/4 medium purple onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons vinegar (I use apple cider)
• 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled (or use bacon bits)
• 1 cup parmesan cheese (or to your liking)

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, glass one if you have it, begin to layer ingredients as follows:.
2. Layer 1 - Lettuce.
3. Layer 2 - Celery.
4. Layer 3 - Purple Onion.
5. Layer 4 - Combine sour cream and sugar and pour over salad.
6. Layer 5 - Combine mayonnaise and vinegar and pour on top.
7. Layer 6 - Sprinkle parmesan cheese.
8. Layer 7 - Sprinkle bacon.
