7 Layer Salad

I made this salad for a family get-together dinner at mom's last week.
I wanted to make it a little special and not just a big tossed salad.  It's an easy salad to prepare and it always looks so good!

You can use 7 of your favorite salad vegetables (or more) and thinly slice, shred or grate them.  Of course, you must use a clear dish that is big enough to hold the ingredients so the colorful layers can be seen through.

 

I used the following ingredients:

~shredded lettuce

~grated carrots

~thinly sliced red onion

~frozen early harvest petite peas

~sliced radishes

~sliced mushrooms

~cherry tomatoes

~sliced bell pepper (your choice of red, yellow, orange or green)

 

For this salad, I chose to serve it with Lemon Dressing:

*1/4 cup olive oil

*2 tablespoons lemon juice

*1/2 teaspoon sugar

*1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

*1/4 teaspoon salt

*1/8 teaspoon pepper

 



 Shake all ingredients in a tightly covered Mason jar.  I quadrupled the recipe so that each person could pour over their salad to their taste.

Enjoy!
