This recipe comes from my mom and trust me it is absolutely delicious!!!!! We actually eat it alone as a meal!

1 head lettuce-chopped;

1 lb. bacon(of course we don't eat pig so i used beef;also turkey works);

6-8 boiled eggs-chopped;

Just before serving add 4-6 cups corn chips and 1 rounded cup cheddar cheese.

DRESSING:

1 1/2 cup miracle whip;

1/4 cup vinegar;

I truelly believe the secret that makes this salad is in the dressing!!!!
