How to Make Overnight Salad
Storing 7-Layer Salad
You can keep the 7-layer salad covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The flavors will blend and taste even better the next day!
A little “chill” time (overnight) is recommended making this salad recipe potluck perfect. Prepare it the night before; a seven-layer salad recipe stays crispy until ready to serve even with the salad dressing on top! Serve it in a trifle or glass bowl so everyone can see the delicious layers!
Lettuce: Iceberg will stay extra crunchy due to its high water content, so it’s great in an overnight salad. Wash it first and then dry it very well (I use a salad spinner). Vegetables: Tomatoes, peas, and sliced green onions add texture, color, and visual interest to a 7 layer salad! Bacon & Eggs: Bacon and hard-boiled eggs add texture, color, and a boost of healthy protein. I keep the bacon on the side and sprinkle it on just before serving. Cheese: Cheddar cheese has a sharp flavor that tastes great with sweet peas and salty bacon. Blue cheese crumbles or parmesan cheese are other excellent options. Variations: Chopped celery, sliced radishes, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms, shredded zucchini, corn, sundried tomatoes, and even shredded Brussels sprouts can be added to this salad. This is a great recipe for using up leftover bits of veggies in the fridge. Add in your favorite herbs or ranch-style seasonings to change it up. Did you make this 7 Layer Salad?
