7-Layer Salad
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 9:59 amThis is cubbys favorite salad.
I think it's cause it has bacon in it.
Ingredients:
4 cups iceberg lettuce (I slice it thin and use an entire head of lettuce)
1 cup peas (boil pot of water, turn off stove and toss peas in for just a few minutes, no need to cook peas)
1 cup shredded carrots
2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
6 slices or bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, sliced
3/4 cup salad dressing (or mayo)
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried dillweed (optional but I highly recommend it)
Layer in large bowl (about 8 inch in diameter) in this order...
Lettuce (a little sea salt and fresh cracked peppered on lettuce tastes nice)
peas
Carrots
Eggs
Bacon
Cheese
Mix the salad dressing, lemon juice and dill weed and spread over the salad. Make sure it covers entire salad.
Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. This is the hard part. Waiting. But worth it. It's a great salad for Sunday lunch because you can prepare it on Saturday. I have served it when it's not sat the full 24 hours and it tasted fine, but it needs to set over night in the fridge.
