This is my "go to" recipe when I'm hungry for this delicious 7 layer salad. I got the recipe from a friend of mine 15 years ago. You have to let it sit overnight to come together, so prepare the day before. Give it a try and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Cooking time is refrigeration over night.
