24 Hour Layered Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large transparent bowl, layer lettuce, celery, bell peppers, onions, peas, mayonnaise, sugar and cheese. Sprinkle bacon bits evenly over the top of the salad.
• Cover bowl, and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Toss together the lettuce, spinach, celery, mushrooms, eggs, peas, bell pepper, green onions, and water chestnuts in a 9x13 inch dish. Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar in a bowl, and spread evenly over the salad to the edges of the dish. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese, and top with bacon. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Spread the lettuce out on a large serving dish or bowl. Sprinkle the onion, celery, water chestnuts and frozen peas (unthawed) over the lettuce in layers. Spread mayonnaise over the top like a frosting. Sprinkle with sugar and grated cheese. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Before serving, sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top, and garnish with tomato wedges, slices of hard-cooked egg, and parsley.

Steps:

• Layer the first four ingredients in the order listed above, starting with lettuce on bottom.
• Mix sugar, mayo, cheese, and salt/pepper.
• Spoon mayo mixture on top of layered ingredients.
• Refrigerate and then toss AFTER 24 hours.
• I like to add frozen peas for color. *Prep time is mostly cutting veggies and cooking bacon, cooking time is refrigeration time.*.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the two lettuces together and layer a little more than about 1/2 of the lettuces in the bottom of a large deep casserole dish, or a big glass salad bowl that will allow your family to see the layers. Follow by sprinkling with layers of celery, radishes, bell pepper, green onion, mushrooms, peas, black olives, egg and bacon. Then, top the layers with the remaining lettuces. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar until they are well mixed. Then, carefully spread the dressing (like frosting), as evenly as possible over the top of the salad. Sprinkle with cheddar (and jack if using) cheese. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. This will serve about 8-10 people. Note: To make this a fun Mexican Style Layered Salad, use 2 teaspoons, or more to taste, red pepper sauce to the dressing, add 2 cups of niblet corn kernels, a cup of diced green chiles, and about three of four big handfuls of Fritos Corn Chips before layering on the finishing layer of lettuces. It is important to use the Fritos. They are thicker and will keep some crunch, but you can also use whatever your favorite tortilla chip makes you happiest.

Steps:

• Place lettuce in the bottom of a bowl about 8 inches in diameter. If desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Layer mushrooms/broccoli. Then layer carrots.
• Arrange egg slices and bacon over vegetables.
• Top with 1/2 cup of cheese and the green onions.
• For the dressing, combine mayo, lemon juice and dillweed. Spread dressing over the top of salad, sealing to edge of bowl. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Cover and chill for 2-24 hours.
• Before serving, toss to coat the vegetables.
• Sprinkle with additional sliced green onion, bacon bits and or cheese if desired.
