I love hard boiled eggs in my salad and this salad your making is my favorite salad! Thanks for the video ❤

I recommend you use a trifle bowl for seven layer salad. It looks better when the layers are thicker and you use a deeper bowl.

I actually love it in a trifle bowl too! So pretty. Just harder to get down to those layers 🤪 This bowl was a good compromise for that.

That's quite possibly the best looking Seven layer salad I've ever seen. I love the idea of building up the perimeters of the tomatoes and egg layers to establish those layers' visibility. And not bringing the cheese and bacon to the edge to give the dressing more chance to shine from the top of the salad was brilliant.

I just discovered your channel thanks to a You Tube recommendation. Love, love this recipe. I used to make a more difficult version of this recipe decades ago and am so excited to find your recipe. I'm about to binge watch on your recipes! 😀

Your kitchen is so beautiful! I love the salad too. Thank you.

I took them out of the freezer, put them in a colander, and as they defrosted, the excess water drained out. And the taste of the frozen peas was amazing. Thank you again.

Once again I am making your Seven Layer Salad for a barbeque with friends. Your great advice on all the individual components turn this from a good salad to a great salad. The one thing I do add on top is a little bit of finely chopped green onion. Can't wait to enjoy this salad tonight. Thanks again.

I've seen several recipes for this salad where they say to put frozen peas directly in the salad. I've done that for years without any problem. By the time you serve it, the peas are still very chilled but not frozen.

I make a similar layered salad but chill it overnight. I don't think you mentioned if you do this or not. Also, I use half mayonnaise or Miracle Whip and half Ranch Dressing for added flavor. I don't use tomatoes but use a red colored pepper vs green, diced, along with sliced celery. Guess there are many variations one can do with this salad :)

I've never added tomatoes. It would make it watery. As you said, you're supposed to cover it with Saran Wrap and chill it overnight in the fridge. This allows the mayonnaise/ sugar mixture to slowly drip through the salad and the flavors to meld. It actually gets better as it sits in the fridge. I've been making this salad for years and it's always a big hit. I decorate it with carrot roses and use strips of scallions for the stems and leaves. I'm making another one for Thanksgiving.

Great Salad!!!! You are so pretty!

Man, that looks incredible. Question: how do you dig into that full bowl without having it spill out? I think if I were to be the first guest, I would defer to others to make the mess before I got into it. Also, since the dressing is all on the upper layer, should I have an extra bowl of dressing on the side? As you can tell, I'm not even a basic home cook, but that salad looks spectacular and I want to make and serve it.

Thank you so much! Honestly, we just dig right in with salad tongs and plop it on the plate! No need to add more dressing on the side. There's plenty of coverage on there. I wish I had a cool technique to share but that's really it 🙊😂

When I used to make this for potlucks I used a glass 9 x 13 dish. Not the same impressive presentation but a bit more practical for a church potluck, I thought.

Do you mix the salad before serving or leave it in layers and server that way?

How much Sour Cream and how much vinegar in the dressing?

@TheAnthonyKitchen

Here is the written recipe! Ingredients FOR THE DRESSING 1 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons white vinegar (white wine, apple cider, or rice wine vinegar will work as well) 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese FOR THE SALAD 12 slices thick-cut bacon, diced 4 cups (about 1 head) Iceberg lettuce, chopped (make sure the lettuce is dry) 2 cups grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded 6 large hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped 1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peas, thawed in a colander 1 1/2 cup freshly grated Cheddar cheese Instructions Add all of the dressing ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside until ready to use. Add the bacon to a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Have ready a 3-quart trifle dish, bowl, or a 9x13" casserole dish. Add the ingredients in a layer in this specific order: Lettuce, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and then the peas. Pour the dressing over the peas and spread it evenly across the top. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the dressing, and top with the bacon. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.

Looking for this recipe for this Saturday to take to a potluck dinner. I've never made before and looking at other recipes, this one hits the spot. Thank you
