Very close to the best. I made this for a family birthday and it was a hit. I followed the recipe as followed. Later that week I made a much smaller version of it for dinner and although I didn't have time to leave it in the fridge it was still good.

If you want a salad that will knock your guests socks off, this is it! Super fun to make and absolutely delicious. It presents beautifully and tastes as good as it looks. I used a couple of different veggies instead of some that were listed only b/c of family preferences. However, next time I am making it as is and I can't wait! Thanks for this amazing recipe!

My husband and I love this salad and enjoy it often in the summer. If I have extra green veggies around, they'll go in too. I've added a layer of chopped broccoli and a layer of green onions, great additions to a wonderful salad.

I made this recipe for a family reunion and it was excellent. I did make a few changes. 1. No celery. 2. Red bell peppers instead of green. 3. Green onions instead of red. 4. I added water chestnuts. Other than those few changes the recipe is great. I'm going to make it again and add chicken to it for a lunch at work.

This was really heavy and kind of boring. I did like the dressing though, and will be tweaking and making again.

I made this salad for my son's birthday party and it was a huge hit! I did not use as many salad greens as it called for, and I forgot (unintentionally) to put the peas in, but everyone still loved it!! I used low fat/fat free alternatives (although you can't use a sugar substitute or else it won't help melt the mayo/sour cream), and it still turned out really well. And, the salad I purchased had carrots in it, which no one seemed to mind! All in all this was a great recipe I would strongly recommend!

I have to say this was pretty good and, if nothing else, offers you base ideas for the makings of a great salad. I used red peppers instead of green and used a little bit less sugar than recommended, but the dressing was still too sweet. I would make it again and tweak the dressing to taste...I'm really glad I tried this one!

I also make a salad very similar to this. I loathe bell pepper so I omit them. I use baby corn and instead of cheddar cheese, I usually put a layer of parmesan cheese on top. It makes so much salad I serve it to guests and at potlucks, everyone should try it once.

I make a salad very much like this ALL the time because it is super tasty and looks good for company. My version includes only 1 cup of celery, and replaces the red onion with 8 scallions, but also adds a couple of chopped hard-boiled eggs and a 6oz can of sliced water chestnuts (drained). I've also never noticed any advantage to letting the salad sit for 12 hours before being served... although the leftovers are great, serving fresh is just as good. I am sticking with my variation of this layered salad, and I really hope that others stumbling across this recipe try them too.

This recipe is the best ever!! I made a couple small substitutions in my version though. I replaced the mayonaise with extra virgin olive oil and the sour cream with vinegar. I don't really care much for frozen vegetables so I replaced the peas with fresh sliced tomato, and since my diet won't allow me to have bacon I substituted cucumber slices in its place. This recipe was so good I've incorporated it into my daily diet. Thanks a lot!

I enjoyed this dish very much! I used vegetarian bacon instead of normal bacon, and low fat mayonaise instead of regular, because of my diet. I think refridgerating it overnight leaves the creamy mixture on top a much more desired consistency for salad. Great idea!
