I am going to treat you all to one of my favorite dishes, its called a seven layer salad and of course its obvious what it will look like. You could say this is a health dish and of course very customizable depending on how you look at it.

So you will need the following items:

8x10 Pan
1/2 Head of Lettuce - Chopped
1/2 Cup of onions - Chopped
1/2 Cup of green peppers - Chopped
1/2 Cup of Celery - Chopped
1 10oz Pkg Frozen peas - cooked and cooled
2 Cups of Mayonnaise
2 Tea spoons of Sugar
4 oz of cheese
6-8 Slices of bacon - cooked and chopped up

Ok now for the layering

1st Layer - Lettuce
2nd Layer - Green Peppers
3rd Layer - Onion
4th Layer - Celery
5th Layer - Pea's then put the Mayonnaise and sugar on top
6th Layer - Cheese
7th Layer - Bacon

Let the dish refrigerate over night and can be served any time the next day.

Like I said you can customize this very efficiently especially the Mayonnaise if you like that fat free stuff and the sugar as well, but of course you can add more vegetables to it if you wish or replace the original recipe for other vegtables. Of course once you get a try of this you like it just like the rest of my family does.

Okay, I am definetly going to print this out and use it at my next party. It looks soo good! Just one question; do we steam the peas or do we microwave them? I am allergic to eggs so I can't have the mayo; any other suggestions for that?

Thanks,

Imtay

I can't think of anything that would replace the mayonnaise, but there are recipes for eggless mayonnaise though.

As for the peas steam them on the oven so you can keep some of that green color and crispiness to them when it comes to chilling it.

Nice, it seems really easy. Do you think you could add a photo of the salad?
