My Favorite Seven-Layer Salad Recipe

I’m really excited to share this seven-layer salad recipe with you guys, because it’s been a favorite of mine since my mom started making it years ago! In my house, it was always a dish made for summer parties and cookouts and we didn’t really have it any other time – so that made it extra special. Interestingly, I’ve craved it during my third trimester with all three of my pregnancies, so it’s made several appearances in our house over the years!

My Favorite Seven-Layer Salad Recipe

The best part about this salad is that you really can’t mess it up – you can switch up your ingredients and layer each one how you desire…it’s still going to taste great! There are a million seven-layer salad recipes out there and some call for things like onions and radishes – you can really get as adventurous as you’d like. I prefer to keep things simple, so I thought I’d share my take on this delicious seven-layer salad recipe!

My Favorite Seven-Layer Salad Recipe

Ingredients

  • Salad
  • Head of iceberg lettuce, chopped (or a 16 oz bag of chopped lettuce)
  • 1-1.5 cups of chopped celery (about 4 stalks)
  • 12 ounces frozen peas, thawed
  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (I used Daiya dairy-free cheese)
  • 1 package of bacon, cooked and crumbled (I used turkey bacon)
  • Dressing
  • 1.5 cups mayonnaise
  • 1.5 tbsp white sugar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon according to package directions and allow to cool.
  2. Boil 6 eggs and allow to cool before peeling (you can also buy pre-boiled eggs, such as Great Day Farms!).
  3. Wash and chop your veggies.
  4. Crumble bacon and chop hard-boiled eggs.
  5. In small bowl, mix dressing ingredients together.
  6. In a casserole dish or large bowl, layer veggie ingredients starting with lettuce. I did lettuce, celery, then peas.
  7. Top the veggie layers with the hard-boiled eggs.
  8. Spread the dressing evenly on top of the salad.
  9. Top with shredded cheese followed by crumbled bacon.
  10. Refrigerate for several hours before serving. Enjoy!

My Favorite Seven-Layer Salad Recipe

Honestly, I think this salad is best after sitting in the refrigerator for several hours, but even if you dig in right after you make it, it’s so good! There are so many ways to make this friendly for all types of dietary needs, too. My mom always made this with real cheese, but since I stopped eating dairy, I substituted my favorite Daiya cheese and it still tastes delicious. You can also use vegan mayo (I like Trader Joe’s brand) in place of regular mayo if you prefer. I’m not a huge fan of bacon, which is why I prefer to use turkey bacon in my recipe, but either kind works!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
