Fell-in-love-with my mom's Seven Layer Salad
Why I Love This Recipe
It's Thanksgiving Day, and you know what I'm eating the most of? This salad. Screw the turkey and dressing...when my mom put this on the table, I fell in love.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 head lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1 pkg. frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 1/2 cups Hellman's mayo (Hellman's is more lemony than others and works well)
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 pound bacon, fried and crumbled
Directions
Fill salad bowl half full of lettuce.
Add layers of bell pepper, onion, celery and peas.
Spread mayo over peas, sealing to the edge of the bowl.
