I love seven layer salads around the holiday season. Create your layers and add the creamy delicious dressing that oozes down the many layers of the salad. I’ll show you how to layer the salad to maintain its beauty.
Seven Layer Salad
Ingredients
- 1/2 iceberg lettuce chopped into bite size pieces
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs cut lengthwise
- 2 tomatoes cut into wedges; cut wedges in half
- 1 cucumber peeled and diced
- 1/2 Red Onion diced
- 1/2 green peas I use frozen
- 1-2 cups Cheddar Cheese Shredded
- 5-6 fully cooked backon slices broken into bite size pieces
- 1/4 cup shredded red cabbage
Dressing
- 2 TBS white sugar
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup maoynaise
- 2 TBS milk
Instructions
- In a large glass bowl (so you can see all the layers) start by placing the lettuce on the bottom. Place egg halves around the bottom of the bowl to show the yolk side on the outside of bowl.
- Place tomatoes on top of lettuce and eggs. Next add cucumbers. Make sure each layer is seen from the outside of bowl. Sprinkle red onions on top of cucumbers.
- Add cabbage to cover. Next add your peas. (Don't cover too much or the dressing won't seep down into bottom layers).
- Mix your ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl. Pour over top of salad and smooth to cover.
- Cover dressing with cheese. Place bacon on top of cheese. (Placing cheese and bacon on top of dressing keeps the dressing from sticking to your lid or saran wrap when you take it off.)
- The longer you leave it in the refrigerator, the dressing will seep further into salad.
- Serve and Enjoy.
