How To Make 7 layer salad

  • 1
    Place lettuce in large bowl, layer next 5 ingredients in order over top of each other as you go.
  • 2
    Mix sour cream and Mayo together. You can add more or less of each to your liking. Its the dressing. Spread over cheese.
  • 3
    Mix all ingredients together right before serving. Have to mix well until dressing is coating everything.
  • 4
    Keep leftovers in fridge, best eaten the same day or tends to get soggy. You can choose to not mix at all and layer in a cake pan. I have seen this. But notice its not the same...much better mixed in the bowl all at once!
