Ingredients used to make Seven Layer Green Salad:
- Crispy lettuce head (we like iceberg lettuce or romaine lettuce)
- Celery
- Hard-boiled eggs (use pre-made, or try our fool-proof method)
- Cooked, crumbled crispy bacon
- Cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
- Green onions
- Cheddar cheese
- Frozen green peas
- Mayonnaise (or miracle whip)
- Sour Cream
How to make Seven Layer Green Salad:
- Chop or tear up crispy head lettuce and place in 9 x 13 dish or salad trifle dish.
- Chop up celery and add on top of lettuce. Add a sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Chop hard boiled eggs and add on top. Again, add a light amount of salt and pepper.
- Crush bacon and add on top of eggs.
- Add chopped tomatoes and green onions, then top with 2 cups cheese.
- Pour on 10 ounces partially frozen peas. (I just let the frozen peas set out while I’m preparing this dish. The peas will thaw enough by the time it’s time to eat.)
- Stir together mayo and sour cream. Mix well. Spread on top of the frozen peas. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. (I used cheddar, but Parmesan would be delicious too!)
How to store this salad recipe:
After you have this salad in a large trifle dish or clear glass bowl [you have to be able to see the layers 😉 ], store the rest of the salad in the fridge the next day after either placing the lid on or plastic wrap on top of the salad.
