Instructions
Creating your Classic 7 Layer Salad is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Base: Start by chopping the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it at the bottom of a clear serving dish or a large bowl.
2. Add Tomatoes: Layer the halved cherry tomatoes over the lettuce, distributing evenly.
3. Place Cucumbers: Next, add the diced cucumbers as the third layer. Arrange them gently to maintain the structure.
4. Layer Radishes: Add the sliced radishes on top of the cucumbers, creating a vibrant pink layer.
5. Add Carrots: Sprinkle the shredded carrots over the radishes for a burst of color and sweetness.
6. Place Peas: Evenly distribute the thawed green peas over the carrots, allowing for a pop of green.
7. Bacon Layer: Add the crumbled cooked bacon as the next layer, giving it a savory and satisfying crunch.
8. Final Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the bacon for that creamy finish.
9. Prepare Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar, adding salt and pepper to taste.
10. Top it Off: Pour the dressing evenly over the top layer of cheese, ensuring it drizzles down through the layers.
11. Chill: Cover the salad with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least an hour for the flavors to meld.
