Seven Layer Pea Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Layer ingredients in the order listed above.
• It is important to chop the lettuce, peppers and onions very small.
• When spreading the salad dressing, make sure you cover the bottom layers completely, to the sides of the dish.
• Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving.

Steps:

• For the salad: In a clear glass bowl, layer the salad ingredients in the order they appear above, concentrating the ingredients around the perimeter of the bowl and filling in any gaps in the center with lettuce as needed. Start with a good layer of iceberg on the bottom, followed by the tomato wedges, spinach and Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs. Sprinkle the egg layer generously with salt and pepper. Layer on the bacon, green onions and Cheddar, and end with the peas.
• For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
• Pour the dressing over the top of the peas and spread evenly, bringing the dressing all the way out to the edges of the bowl. Sprinkle with the dill and parsley. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and allow the eggs to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain off the water and add ice to the pan on top of the eggs. Set aside to chill.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, add mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and zest, and herbs. Pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
• Layer your salad in a trifle dish. Start with the beets on the bottom in an even layer. Next add a layer of each lettuce, celery, blue cheese, and peas. Spread the dressing over the top of the salad and season with pepper to taste. Top with bacon. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (about 2 minutes less than the label directs), adding the broccoli during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain the pasta and broccoli and rinse under cool water; shake off the excess. Remove the broccoli and pat dry.
• Whisk the mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1/4 cup chives, the parsley, half of the lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss the pasta and a few tablespoons of the dressing in a medium bowl.
• Assemble the salad: Toss the avocados with the remaining lime juice in a large glass serving bowl and season with salt; arrange in an even layer. Top with layers of the ham, broccoli, pasta, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Drizzle some of the remaining dressing on top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon chives, or cover and refrigerate the salad and dressing separately up to 6 hours. (Bring to room temperature before serving.)

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl with the shredded Ice Berg Lettuce (Do not substitute anything else, otherwise it will get mushy).
• Layer the carrots on top of the lettuce.
• Then layer in the defrosted peas.
• Over the peas layer in the onions.
• Then completely seal the whole salad with a thick whole egg mayonnaise. Mound the mayonnaise in the middle of the salad and spread to the outside of the bowl, like icing a cake. It is important to remember to completely seal the bowl with mayonnaise in order for the flavors to blend properly.
• On top of the mayonnaise spread the shredded cheese around the outside of the bowl (in a ring).
• Then spread the bacon bits around in the middle. Don't use real bacon because you need the strong flavor and crunch of the soy-based Bacon Bits.
