7 LAYER SALAD ...

You ever been the one, who someone, has designate you to be the salad bringer of the event. Not just sometimes, I am always that person among my family! ...

Our family picnic was around the corner, my nice called to see what I was making. Not really sure, I told her I was still thinking on it. She suggested I make the sea food salad ( see what I mean)  she had tasted many times over (I'll have to post that one later), I didn't think so. That's what I'm requested of every event we have, not this time. I had already purchased some spring mix and baby butter lettuce, to myself I thought to make a salad. But I wanted it to be something they had never had before. Not knowing it would grow in to this gorgeous looking salad we have here ....


I called it 7 layers because, I piled up seven layers of fruits and vegetable onto each layer of salad. You Have ... Blackberries, Strawberries, Whole Cherry Tomatoes (cut them in half if you like), Shredded Carrots,  Sweet Baby Bell Peppers, Kiwi and Cucumbers ... To top it, I used bacon crumbles. If you choose to top it, use what ever you like or not at all, to make it vegetarian or vegan friendly ... Salad dressing, your choice of course ... Please don't limit yourselves to what I used as my layers, use what would appeal to your taste in a salad ... 7 Layers at that ... 

This salad could be the main dish, for your event or family dinner. My family enjoyed seeing all the beautiful colors as well as the taste, I'm sure yours will too ... 

Please share and ENJOY!

  1. I've heard of a 7 layer lasagna - but NEVER a 7 layer salad! And yours is a complete meal, going from meat/vege salad on down to a fruit salad. Ooow girl!
