This salad has a bunch of weird ingredients but there is nothing to fear. I have eaten this salad since I was a kid and I am still in there kicking. I learned how to make this salad at my mother's knee and have passed it on to another generation.  It is the perfect salad for a picnic, especially with hotdogs and hamburgers. Ask some of the folks that attended the 2001 - 2009 Campouts and they will witness as to its taste (I hope). It will make another appearance during the 2010 Campout.

• Chop one head of lettuce into small pieces and place in a bowl.

• Chop one can of SPAM (yes uncooked SPAM) into small beet like pieces and place in the bowl.

• Chop one white onion into small pieces (this is the hard part) and place in the bowl.

• Open a standard sized can of peas (drain off the liquid and drink it). Pour the peas into the bowl.

• Mix a liberal (lots) amount of salad dressing (not mayonnaise) and catsup into a bowl and mix into a Thousand Island type of dressing. (Don't just use Thousand Island as a substitute. That's too easy and won't taste as good).

• Pour the Thousand Island type of dressing into the bowl containing all the other ingredients.

• Mix everything well so the dressing and the ingredients are evenly mixed together.

• Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.

• Serve it up.... much to the amazement of others.
