SEVEN LAYER SALAD

Ingredients

For the salad:

  • 1 small head iceberg lettuce, rinsed, dried, and chopped (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup chopped red onion (about 1 small)
  • 2 cups chopped green pepper (about 3 medium)
  • 4 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ cups chopped Roma tomatoes (about 3 medium)
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

For the dressing:

  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Layer ingredients in the order listed above up to the layer of peas.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and sugar until combined and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Spread in an even layer on top of the peas.
  • Sprinkle the top evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon then serve!

Notes

  • This can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes can be substituted for the Romas.
  • Make sure you don’t cut your vegetables too small, we want bite sized pieces.
  • You can reduce the dressing to 1 ½ cups mayonnaise and 1 ½ Tablespoons of granulated sugar.
