Notes

I think the notes people include in their recipes make them more personal. If I write a note myself about a recipe, it will always be written in purple.

Seven-Layer Salad

Seven-Layer Salad

Book: Betty Crocker's Cookbook, 9th Edition
Chapter: Salads & Salad Dressings
Makes 6 servings
Prep: 25 min; Chill: 2 hr

Many of the creamier dressings call for mayonnaise or salad dressing. What's the difference? Although very similar in flavor and appearance, salad dressing is usually a bit sweeter than mayonnaise.

6 cups bite-size pieces mixed salad greens
2 stalks m medium, celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)
1 cup thinly sliced radishes
8 medium green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
12 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen green peas, thawed and drained
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or shredded Cheddar Cheese (2 ounces)

1. Place salad greens in large glass bowl. Layer celery, radishes, onions,
bacon and peas on salad greens.

2. Spread mayonnaise over peas, covering top completely and sealing to edge of bowl. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to
blend flavors but no longer than 12 hours. Toss before serving if desired.

Store covered in refrigerator.

Lighter Seven-Layer Salad: For 11 grams of fat and 170 calories per serving, substitute 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise and 1 cup plain fat-free yogurt for the 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise. Decrease bacon to 6 slices and cheese to 1/4 cup.
