7 Layer Salad Recipe
Description
The 7 Layer Salad layers fresh romaine lettuce at the base, topped in sequence with halved grape tomatoes, thawed green peas, chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and crispy crumbled bacon. A dressing made by whisking reduced-fat mayonnaise with sugar and vinegar is spread over the layers along with more shredded cheese and bacon crumbles for texture and flavor contrast.
The salad combines crunchy vegetables with a creamy, tangy-sweet dressing. The layering provides visual appeal and varied mouthfeel in each serving. Preparation requires ingredient chopping and layering without cooking beyond crisping bacon.
This salad works well as a picnic or potluck dish, providing fresh and rich elements. Optional green onions can add mild sharpness if desired. Refrigerating before serving helps meld flavors.
