Corn Chip Salad

1 head lettuce
6-8 hard boiled eggs
1 pound bacon, fried and crumbled
1/2 pound shredded Colby or cheddar cheese
4-6 cups corn chips, crushed (the more-the better)


Dressing:
1 cup miracle whip
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar (can use apple cider vinegar)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar

Toss lettuce, eggs, bacon, and cheese. Add chips and dressing just before serving.

***Note: I made this for the 1st time last Saturday for a family gathering as a birthday party for my niece. This salad was a hit. I made a big bowl full and there was barely enough to keep.

I like my salads with shredded lettuce so I used about 1 1/2 bags of pre-shredded lettuce you find in the produce section of the grocery store. For convenience and time's sake, I used 2 packs of real bacon bits. I'm sure this salad would be much tastier with fresh, fried bacon but I just didn't have the time. I used apple cider vinegar because I didn't have red wine vinegar. And I added corn chips to taste.

Keep in mind that you DO NOT need to add the corn chips until ready to serve. I think next time, I will put the bag of chips next to the salad and let each individual add their own. If the corn chips stay in the salad too long, they become soggy.

I have an upcoming Girls Night Out at a friend's house, I just may make this for the night.

I got this recipe from Kitchen Scrapbook
