Seven-layer salad

Salads

Seven-layer salad is an American dish made from a colorful combination of seven layers of ingredients: iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, sweet peas, hard-boiled eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and bacon pieces. The salad is topped with a mayonnaise-based dressing, and sour cream is sometimes added. It is often served in a glass bowl or a large pan so the layers can be observed, which suits gatherings such as potlucks, picnics, and barbecues where many people need to be fed. Many variants of the dish exist, and it can be made with additional layers, becoming an eight-layer salad instead.
