Ingredients

  • 2 large red onions, sliced into very thin rings
  • 1 head romaine lettuce
  • 2 cups canned corn kernels, drained
  • 4 firm, ripe tomatoes, sliced into rounds
  • 3 hard-boiled eggs, sliced into rounds
  • Red wine or cider vinegar, for marinating
  • 1 cucumber
  • 2 cups canned baked beans
  • 2 cups canned salmon or other oily fish, drained
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 1/4 pound (125g) snow peas, topped and tailed
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • 4 potatoes or yams, peeled, boiled, and diced

Directions

1

1 Marinate the onions in vinegar for 30 minutes. With a fork, deeply score the cucumber vertically, along the sides from top to bottom, then slice it thinly into rounds. Cut the lettuce in half vertically and then into thin half-moon strips.

2

2 Place the baked beans in one bowl and the salmon in another bowl. Put the corn in a third bowl. Blend the mayonnaise with the soy milk to use as dressing.

3

3 Using a huge, preferably deep and oval-shaped salad dish, arrainge alternate layers of all the ingredients and dressing until you use most of the ingredients. Leave some egg, snow peas, and dressing to finish it aesthetically. Store in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. You can also make the salad the day before it is to be served, if it is refrigerated. When ready to serve, slice it like a cake, lift out portions, and serve with your favorite bread.
