This is a common recipe. It's a staple at every family get-together, picnic, potluck we ever have. BUT.. my best friend's mother makes the best. It's a simple recipe & I don't know what she does differently. But hers is the best.

How To Make sharon's 7 layer salad

  • Step 1
    Tear or chop iceburg lettuce roughly, you could also use the bagged salad mix too. I don't see any difference.
  • Step 2
    Mix mayo & sugar.
  • Step 3
    There are two layers of each ingredient so start with lettuce, bacon, peas, eggs, green onions, mayo & cheese. Repeat ending with mayo & cheese.
  • Step 4
    Store in refrigerator till ready to serve. Best if allowed to fully chill for a couple of hours. It is especially important to use frozen peas and NOT canned.
  • Step 5
    It was hard for me to pin her down on exactly how much of what she used, this is about as close as I can get using actual measurements and not "a good handful" of this and "a couple" of that.
