Milkmaid's Recipe Box: 7-Layer Salad

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

7-Layer Salad

Salad Ingredients:

1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cucumber, seeded and sliced
1 cup very small frozen peas, rinsed and drained
1 and 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
1 med. red onion, very thinly sliced (or 4 scallions, thinly sliced)
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 lb. lean bacon, cooked nice and crisp, crumbled or snipped into little pieces
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional)

Dressing Ingredients:

2 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup sour cream OR 1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt (adjust to taste)

Assembling Directions:

Layer first 5 ingredients, one at a time, in a large clear glass bowl or a clear glass 9x13-inch dish so you can see each layer. Don't mix the ingredients.

Mix the dressing ingredients together and pour evenly over the salad in the bowl/dish.

Add a layer of grated cheese, and top with bacon pieces.
