7 LAYER SALAD

Steps:

• Make your hard boiled eggs. You'll need about 6-8 large eggs for this recipe. I love using my Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg recipe for quick and perfect eggs. Once cooked, cut eggs into quarters.
• Prepare your bacon. To get perfect crisp bacon I opt to fry it up in a skillet while my eggs are cooking! Crumble the bacon once it is cooked to a crisp!
• Cut and dice your remaining vegetables. (see ingredients above).
• Mix the dressing. Using a medium size bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, granulated sugar, cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and onion powder.
• Assemble the salad. In a large trifle bowl or clear glass salad bowl, layer 1/2 of the chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, red onion, hard boiled eggs. Add about 1/3 of the dressing. Top with the remaining lettuce, black olives, peas, and red bell pepper. Add the remaining dressing on top.
• Garnish the top of the salad with shredded cheese, bacon crumbles, and green onions slices (optional).
• Refrigerate. It's very important for a seven layer salad to chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. SERVE and ENJOY.

NEW SEVEN-LAYER SALAD

Steps:

• Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk together well.
• Refrigerate when done.
• (Note: You can thin the dressing with some buttermilk if you prefer) Prepare salad ingredients.
• Starting at the top of the above list, place each ingredient in the bottom of a clear glass container.
• For instance, iceberg lettuce goes in first, followed by the romaine lettuce, the julienned cucumber, the carrots and so forth.
• Don't be afraid to pack or compress the ingredients a bit as you go if you're running out of room.
• If you're serving the salad soon, add dressing when each layer is finished.
• Otherwise, reserve dressing until just before serving.
• When finished, refrigerate.
