There are many, many versions of 7 layer salad. This is my take on it. Be sure to use a glass bowl so that the layers can be seen. I have made this using straight mayonnaise, but decided to thin it down with a little Italian salad dressing and add a wee bit of seasoned salt. PS Use bacon crumbles if short on time! (The 20 minutes cooking time was how long I had the bacon in the over!)
