Ingredients

2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped
4 tomatoes, cut into wedges
8 oz baby spinach
8 Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs, recipe follows, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lb(s) bacon, cooked and chopped
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 bag frozen peas (10 oz.), partially thawed
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ tsp sugar
2 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
8 eggs

Steps:

In a clear glass bowl, layer the salad ingredients in the order they appear above, concentrating the ingredients around the perimeter of the bowl and filling in any gaps in the center with lettuce as needed. Start with a good layer of iceberg on the bottom, followed by the tomato wedges, spinach and Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs. Sprinkle the egg layer generously with salt and pepper. Layer on the bacon, green onions and cheddar, and end with the peas.
Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
Pour the dressing over the top of the peas and spread evenly, bringing the dressing all the way out to the edges of the bowl. Sprinkle with the dill and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain off the water and add ice to the pan on top of the eggs. Set aside to chill.

SEVEN LAYER SALAD

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.

YUMMY 7 LAYER SALAD

Yummy 7 Layer Salad image

Quick Easy and if your lucky enough (left overs are the best)! Make sure to slice the red onion super super thin (I use the mandolin). Oh!!!! Print the recipe you'll be asked for it. This doesn't get soggy so you can make the day before. This is great for pot lucks. Just layer all in a foil pan. If vegetarian you can use imitation bacon made of soy, you can change the fillings to anything you enjoy but I do suggest keeping the iceberg you can use romaine successfully and the peas and celery are a must in this recipe.
