Layer Salad

Yeah, this is known as a 7-layer salad, but why limit yourself to just seven?  Really, there are no rules with what you need to have for a layer or the amounts you use.  Just start with a base of greens and go for it.  Here are some ideas.

Layer Salad

Layer in a big bowl in this order (more or less, but lettuce at the bottom, bacon and shredded cheese at the top.)

1 head lettuce (or substitute romaine, or add some mixed greens and go lighter on the lettuce)

1/2 head or so of chopped cauliflower (or broccoli would also be good!)

Celery, chopped

Red onion or green onions, chopped

Peas

sliced radishes

Salt and pepper

dressing mix (just shy of 1 c. total combo of mayo and sour cream, heavier on the mayo.  Add a sprinkle of sugar, and 1/3 c. shredded parm cheese.)

1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and chopped (You kinda gotta have this. It's a key ingredient.  Cuz, bacon)

Shredded cheese

Optional:

Other possible mix-ins that I haven't tried, but would probably be awesome:  Shredded chicken.  Diced or mini cooked shrimp

Other dressing ideas:  add a bit of sriracha to the dressing for a kick!


Once everything is layered, cover and set in the fridge for several hours.  Toss and enjoy!
