24-HOUR LAYERED SALAD



24-HOUR LAYERED SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Yield 8-10 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 medium head iceburg lettuce, rinsed, dried and torn
1 large head of romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried and torn
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup sliced radishes
1 cup diced green bell pepper (or combination of red, orange and yellow peppers)
1 cup green onions, thin sliced using some green tops if you like
2 cups fresh sliced mushrooms
2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
1 1/2 cups sliced black olives
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1-2 cups crisp bacon, crumbled
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (the good stuff, not the green can)
2 1/2 cups mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best Foods)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a combination of cheddar and jack)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the two lettuces together and layer a little more than about 1/2 of the lettuces in the bottom of a large deep casserole dish, or a big glass salad bowl that will allow your family to see the layers. Follow by sprinkling with layers of celery, radishes, bell pepper, green onion, mushrooms, peas, black olives, egg and bacon. Then, top the layers with the remaining lettuces. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar until they are well mixed. Then, carefully spread the dressing (like frosting), as evenly as possible over the top of the salad. Sprinkle with cheddar (and jack if using) cheese. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. This will serve about 8-10 people. Note: To make this a fun Mexican Style Layered Salad, use 2 teaspoons, or more to taste, red pepper sauce to the dressing, add 2 cups of niblet corn kernels, a cup of diced green chiles, and about three of four big handfuls of Fritos Corn Chips before layering on the finishing layer of lettuces. It is important to use the Fritos. They are thicker and will keep some crunch, but you can also use whatever your favorite tortilla chip makes you happiest.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the taste of your salad. Select fresh, vibrant vegetables, crisp lettuces, and flavorful dressing components.
  • Variety is Key: Don't limit yourself to a few standard vegetables. Experiment with different textures, colors, and flavors by incorporating a variety of veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, and grains.
  • Consider the Dressing: The dressing is the glue that brings all the salad elements together. Choose or create a dressing that complements the flavors of your salad ingredients. Experiment with different types of vinegars, oils, herbs, and spices to find your perfect combination.
  • Marinate or Season Vegetables: Marinating or lightly seasoning vegetables before adding them to the salad enhances their flavor and adds depth to the overall dish.
  • Build Layers of Flavor: Start with a base of sturdy greens, then add layers of vegetables, fruits, proteins, and textures. This creates a more interesting and satisfying salad.
  • Balance Flavors and Textures: Aim for a balance of flavors (sweet, sour, salty, bitter) and textures (crunchy, soft, smooth) in your salad. This creates a more dynamic and enjoyable eating experience.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Overdressing can weigh down the salad and mask the flavors of the individual ingredients.
  • Experiment with Different Techniques: Don't be afraid to try new techniques to enhance your salad. Consider grilling, roasting, or pickling vegetables to add smoky, caramelized, or tangy notes to the dish.

Conclusion:

Creating a delicious and satisfying 24-hour salad is all about combining fresh, high-quality ingredients, experimenting with flavors and textures, and finding the perfect balance of dressing.
