7 Layer Salad Recipe
A visually stunning layered salad that combines crunchy vegetables, creamy dressing, and savory toppings, perfect for gatherings or family meals.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Mayonnaise
- ¾ cup Sour Cream
- ⅓ cup Grated Parmesan
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 5 cups Romaine, chopped
- 3 medium Tomatoes, seeded and diced
- 1 bunch Green Onions, sliced
- 8 large Hard Boiled Eggs, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups Frozen Peas, thawed
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 lb Beef Bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan, sugar, and onion powder. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
- In a clear glass trifle bowl, spread most of the chopped romaine over the bottom. Reserve a small portion to fill in the center later.
- Layer the diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped hard-boiled eggs, and peas over the lettuce. Concentrate the ingredients along the edges for a beautiful presentation. Fill the center with the reserved romaine.
- Spread the prepared dressing evenly over the peas. Ensure that it covers the entire layer for optimal flavor.
- Top the salad with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. These layers add the final savory touch to the salad.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Toss gently before serving if desired.
Notes
- Keep ingredients dry before layering to prevent soggy salad.
- Feel free to swap cheddar for Colby cheese for a milder flavor.
- Cook bacon until extra crispy for better texture.
- Letting the salad sit overnight enhances the flavors significantly.
- Use a clear glass bowl to showcase the vibrant layers beautifully.
