Recipe submitted by Barbara Hetfleisch. Barbara brought this dish to a pot luck of ours. I was surprised to see this in the 11x14 dish rather than a deep pedestal dish. Her reasoning was that this way you can more easily get all seven (or 9) layers much more easily - good point!!

yield 12 or more
prep time 30 Min
method Refrigerate/Freeze

    sugar or equal

How To Make seven layer salad (really, nine!)

  • 1
    Layer first 5 ingredients in an 11x14 glass baking dish- works best rather than a deep clear bowl.
  • 2
    Spread the entire amount of the salad dressing mixture over the peas.
  • 3
    Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over all, then a layer of the crumbled cooked bacon, then the sliced or crumbled hard boiled eggs.
  • 4
    This must be made one day prior to serving. Cover with Saran Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
