1 Cup noodles, cooked
3 Cups shredded lettuce
3-4 hard cooked eggs, sliced
salt and pepper

1 Cup chopped salami
1 pkg. Frozen peas, thawed
˝ Cup mayonnaise
Ľ Cup sour cream
1 teaspoon mustard
1 Cup cheese

Cook macaroni and rinse with cold water.
In serving bowl , (I like to use a glass bowl so you can see the layers) place lettuce on bottom, top with cooked noodles, cooked chopped eggs, chopped ham, salami and peas.
Combine mayo, sour cream and mustard together and spread over the top. Refrigerate overnight.
Sprinkle with cheese before serving.

Cooking Tips

This needs to be prepared ahead of time and overnight is even better. Cook the macaroni and eggs at the same time while you are shredding lettuce, chopping ham and salami.
Kids are great at washing and shredding lettuce. They can add in the ingredients in the correct layer.

Individual Easy Salad Recipe

Another fun way to serve this is in small individual glass bowls that everyone can have their own layer salad. If they don't like the salad dressing leave it off or use a type they do like.
