Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag 12 oz fresh baby spinach
  • 1 pound crispy bacon crumbled
  • 7 hard boiled eggs sliced
  • 1 box sliced mushrooms approx. 10 oz
  • 1 head of iceberg lettuce cut up into pieces
  • 1 package of fresh or frozen peas approx. 3/4 pound
  • 1 large red onion sliced
  • 1 cup miracle whip dressing
  • 1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
  • 1/2 grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Cook the peas in the microwave for 1 minute
  • Mix the Miracle whip and Mayo together in a separate bowl
  • In a large bowl (glass is nice because you can see the layers) start layering the salad.
  • Start with spinach, followed by bacon, eggs, mushrooms, iceberg lettuce, cooked peas, and onions in that order.
  • Top with the creamy dressing.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan on the top along with some more crumbled bacon or other garish as you wish.
  • Cover with plastic wrap (my aunt's recipe actually says foil) and refrigerate for 24 hours.
  • Remove and serve with a large, long handled spoon that can reach to the bottom and serve a bit of every layer in each serving.
