LAYERED SALAD

Layers:  chopped cabbage, dressed with a mixture of mayonnaise and a touch of vinegar, next layer is grated cheese, one green pepper and one red pepper cubed, finely chopped cauliflower, red onion chopped, bacon (I used a spicy sausage as bacon do not exist where I live). Topped off with pieces of chicken. I added a sprinkle of green onion for a bit of extra color.

This was one delicious salad. Enough to feed a crowd.
