I love the classic 7 layer salad and I love veggies so I just kept adding more ingredients and now it's an 11 layer salad. I made it for Thanksgiving one year and it was the talk of the party and gobbled up fast. I have been told this is the best layer salad recipe ever and I am asked to bring it to all holiday dinners. I think the double layering is the key. This makes a big salad! Ingredients:
2 (6 -9 ounce) bags fancy lettuce (i use one bag american blend and one bag of fancy lettuce like romaine or even spinach works great) |
1 lb bacon (cooked and crumbled) |
1 small red onion (diced, can substitute green onions if desired) |
0.5 (12 -16 ounce) bag frozen peas (thawed) |
1 small green pepper (diced) |
2 cups fresh cauliflower (cut into bite size pieces) |
2 cups fresh broccoli (cut into bite size pieces) |
1 cup fresh mushrooms (sliced) |
cherry tomatoes |
1 tablespoon italian seasoning |
3 cups mayonnaise or 3 cups miracle whip |
2/3 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Cook, drain, and crumble bacon.
2. Mix mayonnaise and sugar until blended; set aside.
3. Cut onions, pepper, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms into bite size pieces.
4. In large 9x13-inch pan begin making your layers.
5. Start with half of the lettuce.
6. Layer with half of the mayonnaise mixture.
7. Layer with half of the onions, peppers, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, shredded cheese, bacon, and peas.
8. Repeat this layering process one more time.
9. Top with cherry tomatoes cut in half.
10. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
11. Allow to set and cool in refrigerator before serving.
