- 3 cups green leaf lettuce shredded
- 1 1/2 cups small shell macaroni uncooked
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 hard cooked eggs sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup ham fully cooked, chopped
- 1 cup hard salami chopped
- 16 ounces frozen peas thawed (or fresh peas)
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup green onions chopped
- 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Colby Jack cheese shredded
- Parsley for garnish
Cook shell macaroni according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Drizzle with oil, and toss to coat.
Place shredded lettuce in a 2/12 quart glass serving bowl or trifle bowl.
Top lettuce with macaroni, being careful to layer the macaroni evenly over the lettuce for a pretty layered look. Add sliced eggs for the following layer.
Sprinkle eggs and macaroni with salt and pepper. Add chopped ham, then chopped salami, and then the thawed peas.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, green onions and Dijon mustard. Spread this mixture over the peas.
Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Just before serving, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with parsley.
