There is no funeral, baby shower or funeral
church in the South that does not have a traditional seven-tiered salad
decorating its table. Usually made by 70 things called maple, it is a lovely
and delicious side dish with its unique sauce that you won't want to miss.
A seven-layer salad goes well with Pyrex
dishes like peanut butter and jelly.
This means it's a special dish - and with
good reason - because it's delicious. The trick is to make your plate in a tall
glass bowl or even a junky dish so everyone can see the layers.
+ Make a seven-layer salad in advance
Since the ingredients in this version are
very durable (as in, and are not delicate), you can easily prepare this salad
one to two days in advance and "seal" the vegetables with a seasoning
layer on top, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. It made me a couple of
days ago and then served it and it was just as crunchy as it did when I made
it.
* Ingredients
° 1 pound of bacon
° (1) Large lettuce (fully washed, dried
and chopped)
° (1) Chopped red onion
° (1) A (10-ounce) package thawed frozen
green peas
° (10 ounce) grated cheddar cheese
° 1 cup chopped cauliflower
° (1 ¼) a cup of mayonnaise
° 2 tablespoons white sugar
° A quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese
* Directions :
Add bacon in a large skillet and cook over
medium-high heat until evenly brown. Shrink and set aside
Place the chopped lettuce in a large flat
bowl, and top it with a layer of onions, peas, grated cheese, cauliflower and
bacon.
Make the dressing by mixing together
mayonnaise, sugar, and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle over the salad, put it in the
fridge until it cools down.
* Notes :
The ideal time to prepare a salad overnight
is the night before or four hours at most. Anytime sooner, the sauce will make
the salad slightly moist. Make sure you arrange it carefully, then place the
sauce over the rim, cover with plastic wrap or in a jar with a sealed lid, and
keep cool until ready to serve.
Enjoy it !
