1 c. celery, chopped
1 lg. onion, chopped

Prepare salad in a large bowl. Add ingredients one at a time as given, each in a separate layer. Do not toss. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. It is best when it sits for a full 24 hours. Serve in bowl, making sure each guest digs down deep to get a portion of each layer. You may also prepare in individual salad bowls, again making seven layers. This salad will keep two to three days if necessary. Makes at least 8 generous servings.
