Betty's Layered Salad

This recipe came to us through our good friends mother-in-law. She is a talented artist and not surprising that this salad looks like a piece of art! The beauty of this salad is that it can be prepared ahead of time. Great for pot lucks and large group gatherings.

In a large clear glass bowl carefully and neatly layer the  vegetables in the following order:
6 cups Lettuce (variety of your choice)
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
1 cup thinly sliced celery
2 cups thinly sliced mushrooms
1 finely chopped red pepper
1 finely chopped green pepper

1/4 Cup real grated parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp. white vinegar
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
