Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces bacon (about 12 slices), chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 avocado, halved, pitted and peeled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head iceberg lettuce, cored and thinly sliced (about 10 cups)
8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
1/2 small head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (5 cups)
2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (about 3 1/2 cups)
1 pound frozen peas, thawed
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and fat is rendered, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crisp.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine buttermilk, avocado, lemon juice, and oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Puree until smooth.
  • Lightly pack iceberg into the bottom of a large glass bowl or trifle dish. Arrange egg slices vertically along edge of bowl in a single row, then scatter remaining eggs evenly over lettuce. Layer cabbage over eggs, then tomatoes. Season tomatoes with salt, then top with peas. Pour dressing over peas and spread into an even layer using a spatula. Top with cheese and bacon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your 7-layer salad will taste. If possible, use organic produce.
  • Make sure your lettuce is crisp: Wilted lettuce will make your salad soggy. Rinse the lettuce well and pat it dry before assembling the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will overwhelm the other flavors in the salad.
  • Layer the salad in the correct order: The order of the layers is important for the best flavor and texture. Start with the lettuce, then add the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, cheese, and finally the dressing.
  • Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad will help the flavors to meld and will make it more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This 7-layer salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this 7-layer salad a try!
