Seven Layer Salad
SUBMITTED BY:

"I usually make this bacon, lettuce, onion, pea, cheese and cauliflower layered salad in a large flat bowl. There's never too much because everybody loves it! You can vary the salad by substituting green onions for red, jack cheese for the Cheddar, etc."

Rave reviews from everyone at the family reunion this weekend! The full pound of bacon and the red onions really make the salad. I also loved the addition of parmesan cheese to the mayo dressing--used the fancy shred, rather than the powdered canned stuff, and it worked out very well. I also increased the mayo to 2 cups. My dad, who'd never had this kind of salad before, asked if it was my own recipe, because, "this is a real award winner, if you ask me!" Thanks for a great, simple recipe!

This is an awesome recipe. Comments were made about the dressing being to thick. My aunt gave me this same recipe but the dressing uses 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream and of course the parmesan cheese and sugar. It makes a creamy dressing and is easier to spread and is soooo good. My family just loves it.

This is a great salad. At first I thought the dressing was a bit too thick, but it wasn't once the salad was served. Actually, the thickness of the dressing served as a preservative, keeping the salad fresh for several days in the fridge. Yummy!!!

I made this for a party recently and it was a big hit. The only change I would make is to layer the dressing in the salad instead of just adding it to the top.

This is an excellent recipe. Because the dressing is rather thick when first prepared, it should read "spread" the dressing instead of "drizzle" it over the salad. It thins after sitting and then being tossed with the vegetable mixture. This salad can be prepared and refrigerated 8-12 hours before serving. I substituted Swiss cheese instead of Cheddar, and added 3 chopped hard boiled eggs and 1 cup of chopped celery. I love recipes that can be made-up ahead of time!

I was looking for new ways to get veggies into my husband. He likes a lot of raw, but not cooked vegetables. I made this recipe yesterday and my husband & I loved it! Changes I would make next time: *use 1 C mayo & 1 C sourcream instead of 1 1/4 C mayo *add 3 chopped, boiled eggs *add a tablespoon of white vinegar to mayo & sourcream mixture *as a finishing touch, add extra crumbled bacon and shredded (not grated) parmesean cheese & 1/2 C of toasted, chopped pecans. Changes I made yesterday: *I used 1/2 of a large, sweet onion instead of a red onion (it was too strong) *I used shredded Parmesean cheese to the mayo

Delicious! I used mushrooms instead of cauliflower and added chopped, hard boiled eggs. I also added some ranch dressing to the mayonaise to jazz up the dressing. I took it to a pot-luck and everyone raved.

This is really good! I brought it as my dish to pass at a family gathering and got big raves - they went back for thirds! I'm not a big red onion fan so I used green onions instead, I like the taste of freshness they give a salad. And to make it easier, I used the already cooked and crumbled bacon from the salad dressing aisle - goes together super fast that way! And I think next time I won't use as much parmesan in the dressing, it was a little chunky for me.

My sister requested I make a seven layer salad for Easter this year. I looked up some on-line and decided to try this recipe. It was wonderful. I made it last weekend to test and brought it to an Easter dinner this weekend. I did change a few things. Instead
