A few years ago, I decided that I wanted to make a seven layer salad for Easter dinner. I played around with a few recipes to get the dressing the way I wanted it and to put my favorite ingredients into the salad. And now it has become one of our Easter traditions. I never knew I could love seven layer salad so much!
It’s so pretty on the table. Each little layer adds something new, and it’s just plain delicious! I really only make this for Easter Sunday and think it’s the perfect addition to our traditional Easter menu.
Seven Layer Salad
Author: Erin Carroll
Recipe type: Salad
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 15
Ingredients
- Head of iceberg lettuce
- 8 eggs, boiled
- Real bacon bits (I like Hormel)
- Green onions, chopped
- Shredded Cheddar cheese
- Frozen green peas, thawed
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Chop the iceberg lettuce and put in a good layer on the bottom of your clear dish; I like to use a trifle dish.
- Chop the hard boiled eggs. I'm not a neat chopper, so I just chop them up so they fit nicely in the dish.
- Add the eggs on top of the lettuce.
- Add the bacon bits on top of the eggs.
- Add the layer of chopped green onions.
- Add enough shredded Cheddar to cover the top.
- Add the peas to the top.
- In a separately bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Pour the mayonnaise mixture on top of the trifle dish for the seventh layer.
- Refrigerate the salad until ready to serve.
