In need of a salad for a holiday luncheon, I ran across this one on Pinterest. Haven’t made this (what is now termed a classic) dish in years. It's always a hit . . . and has the colors of Christmas and looks so pretty, especially in a trifle dish.
7-Layer Iceberg & Pea Salad
1/2 to 1 head iceberg lettuce, no core
10 oz grape tomatoes, sliced
10 oz frozen green peas, defrosted (NOT cooked)
6 green onions, sliced
8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
6 slices cut bacon, rough chopped
Dressing
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons creole seasoning
- Get frozen peas out of freezer and allow to defrost while preparing bacon and salad dressing.
- Cook bacon in a skillet stovetop or in the oven. Drain on a paper towel. Rough chop and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together ingredients for salad dressing and set aside.
- In a glass bowl or 9×13 dish, layer: lettuce, tomatoes, defrosted green peas, green onions & grated cheddar. Top layers with dressing. Spread to evenly cover top of the salad. Top with chopped bacon. Garnish with extra shredded cheese.
