Revisited: Salad Recipe: Layered Salad

•

Sheri

I am making a layered salad for us to enjoy with our Thanksgiving dinner and thought this is a perfect time to share this recipe with you again!

I shared my layered salad recipe once before, but I have tweaked the recipe a bit since then so I decided it was time to share it again. Previously I used fewer hard boiled eggs and less cheese, and my family has made it clear that they would like more of both of those things in their salad. I also said that the salad needs to sit overnight, and I no longer do that. This is my husband’s favourite salad and he wanted it one day so I made it and we ate it without letting it sit overnight…and we all liked it even more!

As you will see, I did not have any green onions when I made the recipe this time, so I garnished with chives and paprika. This salad is so well received in my family. I love that it gets more greens into my children!

        I have made it in the afternoon for the evening, so yes, it is just as good. I am also bad, I do not defrost the peas, and it has not been soggy in any way.

    Very much one of my favorite salads – it looks ‘fancy’ (for lack of better words) so great to take to potlucks over the holidays 🙂

    I’ve had layered dip but never a layered salad. This is definitely a must try.

    Pinning! My mom and grandmother make a fabulous 7 layer salad but I seem to always put too much mayo on it, this looks very similar so now I know the right amount of mayo instead of feeling it out! :)THANK YOU!

    I am happy you gave into the more eggs and more cheese request. I think your salad looks great and would be perfect just on it own. It looks great presented that way too. I would have never thought to put it in a nice clear bowl. I would have used an opaque serving dish. Lesson learned 🙂

      I bought the bowl just for that salad, lol. I would like a taller bowl with a smaller diameter though.

    I was looking for a kid friendly salad for tomorrow and believe it or not, they would like this and so would the adults. Bacon and cheese! You can’t go wrong.

    If you grow the peas in your garden it would taste even more special. Use your Gardening Tool Kit to get started

    You are right in saying this is a great salad for a week night supper. It contains many of the food groups. I make my own boiled salad dressing and I would mix half Hellman’s low calorie mayo and half my own dressing to cut down on the fat content. It still tastes wonderful!
