Seven Layer Salad
This classic 7 layer salad is an old family recipe that you can make ahead and share with a large group at a picnic, potluck, backyard barbecue, or family gathering.
Equipment
- 1 Large glass serving bowl
Ingredients
- 1 bag 12 oz fresh baby spinach
- 1 pound crispy bacon crumbled
- 7 hard boiled eggs sliced
- 1 box sliced mushrooms approx. 10 oz
- 1 head of iceberg lettuce cut up into pieces
- 1 package of fresh or frozen peas approx. 3/4 pound
- 1 large red onion sliced
- 1 cup miracle whip dressing
- 1 cup Hellman's mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the peas in the microwave for 1 minute
- Mix the Miracle whip and Mayo together in a separate bowl
- In a large glass bowl (you want to see the layers), start layering the salad.
- Start with spinach, followed by bacon, eggs, mushrooms, iceberg lettuce, cooked peas, and onions in that order.
- Top with the creamy dressing.
- Sprinkle Parmesan on the top along with some more crumbled bacon or other garish as you wish.
- Cover with plastic wrap (my aunt's recipe actually says foil) and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Remove and serve with a large, long handled spoon that can reach to the bottom and serve a bit of every layer in each serving.
Notes
This is the classic recipe; however, feel free to make it your own. Substitute a meal substitute for the bacon, add a layer of cheese, change the iceberg to romaine lettuce. You get the idea.
