1 Head Lettuce, torn 2 Med. Carrots, Shredded
4 eggs, hard boiled 1 pkg. frozen Peas, thawed
2 Med. Tomatoes, chopped 1 Red Onion, sliced
1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded 5 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup Mayonnaise 1 cup Sour Cream
4 tsp. Horseradish
Mix mayonnaise, sour cream and horseradish. Let stand one hour. Place torn lettuce in a clear bowl. Layer on shredded carrots. Slice 2 eggs and dice 2 eggs. Place sliced eggs around perimeter of bowl, layer diced eggs inside. Layer on peas then tomatoes then onions. Spread mayonnaise mixture on top. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon.
By the way, I don't know why this is called Seven Layer Salad when there are nine layers. I like to make it when it is hot or for pot lucks as it can sit awhile before serving.
Yippee! Thank you for posting this! It's so pretty - and perfect for non-cooking days like today (101 degrees), so if I get to the store, I'll whip this up!
