Wonderful Layered Salad

Wonderful Layered Salad
This updated, new kind of layered salad is really good.  Place it in a nice clear bowl or trifle serving dish.  And, best of all it is only 182 calories per serving (recipe makes 10 servings as a side dish).  It is also low fat....So Enjoy my family and friends!!!
