Easy 7 Layer Salad Recipe
This easy 7 layer salad recipe makes a brilliant make ahead meal or side dish during summer, the holidays or to take to a potluck or picnic.
You can construct the salad in a large salad bowl or dish. Or, you can pop it into a large meal prep container that has a lid, to make it easy to transport. (I use the largest one from this set.)
Seven Layer Salad Ingredients
These are the seven layers in my version of this much loved salad:
Lettuce – I like to start with a bed of greens, in this instance lettuce. Chop or tear the lettuce into bite sized pieces.
Red Pepper – is high in carbs than other vegetables, so, use sparingly. I like to include it for it’s contrasting color and crunch.
Cucumber – slice anyhow you like and include for added texture.
Hard Boiled Egg – to add protein into the salad. I like to boil up a bowl full of eggs and use as many as is needed to fill the layer. (There were 3 in this instance but you may need more or less.)
Avocado – for creaminess and healthy fats. I only included one avocado and that layer was more sparse than others, but still added in plenty of avocado goodness to the salad.
Sour Cream – is my creamy element of choice. By pouring a layer of sour cream on top of the salad, you seal in the freshness of the rest of the salad.
Parmesan – I finish the salad off by topping it with handfuls of flaked parmesan.
