7 Layer Salad

Ingredients

• First layer: In the bottom of the bowl, spread the shredded lettuce
• Second layer: A thin layer of chopped red onion
• Third layer: Chopped celery
• Fourth layer: Peas
• Seven layer salad in a clear dish.
• Fifth layer: Spread the mayo over everything and sprinkle with a little sugar
• Sixth layer: Shredded cheddar cheese
• Seventh layer: Crispy chopped bacon
• Seven layer salad in a glass dish.
• Cover the salad up with plastic wrap and chill for a at least a couple hours.
• Recipe tips and variations:
• Mayonnaise dressing: Plain, good quality mayo like Hellman’s or Best Foods is perfect. A little sugar makes it just slightly sweet, but even that’s optional if you’re watching your sugar intake.
• Miracle Whip: Substitute Miracle Whip for the mayo if you are a Miracle Whip fan. The only difference between them is that the salad dressing Miracle Whip already has added sugar, paprika, and garlic powder.
• Sour cream: Some cooks love mixing half mayo, half sour cream for a tangier dressing.
• Parmesan cheese: A few tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese taste great added to the mayo.
• Add meat: You could layer in some turkey or ham instead of the bacon.
• Extra veggies: Change out your layers for different vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, scallions
• Change the cheese: Pick the cheese you love like smoked provolone, blue cheese, or feta cheese
• More toppings: Not traditional, but avocado, olives, and crunchy fried onions are so good!
