Majestic 7 Layer Salad
This old-fashioned salad looks so pretty served in a tall glass dish.
- 4 cups shredded spinach or lettuce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 cups shredded milk cheddar cheese
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 1 small red onion, sliced, separated into rings
- 2 pkgs frozen green peas (10 oz, each), cooked, drained
- 4 hard cooked eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp dill weed
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
In a clear, deep bowl, layer spinach or lettuce in bottom. Sprinkle spinach with 2 tablespoons sugar, then with 1 cup cheddar cheese. Layer mushrooms, red onion, peas and hard boiled eggs into bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, dill weed and 1/2 teaspoon sugar and mix well. Spread over salad to seal. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
To serve, sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles and bacon. Makes 10 to 12 servings. Enjoy!
