We have seven later salad. Lettuce broccoli cauliflower bacon cheddar and parmesan cheese and the ranch dressing packets you can but at the store. with the dressing you make it with just the packet and one cup of mayo.

Quoting DixieFlower:

Does anyone have a really good "lettuce salad" type recipe? I've always wanted to include a salad with Thanksgiving but just couldn't think of anything that goes well.
