How To Make 7 Layer Salad
- Layer the Salad: In a clear glass bowl, start by layering the chopped iceberg lettuce around the perimeter. Fill in the center with more lettuce if needed. Follow this by layering the spinach, chopped eggs, bacon, tomatoes, green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Finally, top with the partially thawed peas.
- Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar until well combined. Spread the dressing over the peas, making sure it covers the entire surface and reaches the edges of the bowl.
- Chill the Salad: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh dill on top and toss gently. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips

- Thaw the Peas Properly: Partially thaw the peas before adding them to the salad to avoid a soggy layer.
- Layer in Order: Layer the ingredients from the bottom up, starting with the lettuce to create a strong base and ending with the peas for a pretty top.
