LAYERED CHEF SALAD

I cut this recipe out of my local newspaper and altered it slightly to my tastes. This is a great summer supper. Perfect for a hot evening and it looks pretty enough for company when put together in a trifle bowl. Try different lettuces and dressings. It's also a great way to use your garden lettuce, cukes, and tomatoes. Speed up the preparation by using a bag of salad and a bag of shredded carrots. You can make it your own by adding herbs, avocados, artichokes or mushrooms or switching the peas for corn.

Yield 1 salad, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cups bite size lettuce leaves
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, sliced
1 small red pepper, sliced
2 cups shredded carrots
1 (10 ounce) box frozen baby peas
1 (12 ounce) jar salad dressing, such as marie's creamy italian Ranch, Thousand Island
4 -6 hard-boiled eggs
1 pint grape tomatoes, cut in half
1 -2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality seafood for the best flavor. If possible, buy seafood that has been caught or harvested locally.
Cook the seafood properly to avoid overcooking. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
Use a variety of vegetables in your salad for added flavor and texture. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and red onion.
Choose a dressing that complements the flavors of the seafood and vegetables. A light vinaigrette or creamy dressing works well.
Layer the salad ingredients in a clear glass bowl so that you can see all of the different colors and textures.
Serve the salad immediately after assembling so that the dressing does not have time to wilt the vegetables.

Conclusion:

Layered seafood chef salads are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy seafood. They are perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they can also be served as a side dish. With so many different variations to choose from, there is sure to be a layered seafood chef salad that everyone will enjoy.
