7 Layer Salad Recipe
1 head Lettuce, torn into smaller pieces
1 c. onion, sliced
1 pkg. peas
6 hard-boiled eggs, diced
2 c. miracle whip (some substitute mayo)
2 tbs. sugar
8 slices crisp bacon
8 oz. pgk of shredded cheddar cheese
Using a trifle bowl or something similar, layer the ingredients as follows: lettuce, onion, peas, and eggs. In a bowl, mix together miracle whip (or mayo) and sugar. Spread the dressing over the salad. Add a layer of bacon (we usually crumble it into smaller pieces, but strips will work). Cover the entire thing with the package of cheese. Use tinfoil to cover the dish. Chill overnight. It’s perfect for bring your own dish, (BYO), potlucks and other group get-togethers.
Can’t tell you how many potlucks I’ve eaten that salad at. It’s good and trashy.
My family serves this salad to guests all the time and it’s always a hit! The dressing isn’t the healthiest thing in the world, but who said you have to be good all the time?! LOL
Live a little!
