Salt and pepper

1/4 cup Sour Cream Dressing

Notes

Dolly says: "...or the Kitchen Sink Salad, as I sometimes call it. When there's nothing to eat, I toss a little bit of this and a little bit of that with iceberg and romaine and usually end up with this salad because I always have bacon and ham in my refrigerator. This is a full meal, but a little cornbread on the side wouldn't hurt. I always chill an empty salad bowl before putting the ingredients into it."
