The Holidays are fast approaching, and so is the season of holiday parties.
Husband and I attended a potluck party this weekend, and [since dessert was spoken for]
decided to bring a "traditional" potluck dish: seven layer salad.
Everyone has their own version of seven layer salad. It's a great canvas
for mixing and matching different vegetables and cheeses. You can pick and choose
the layers according to your [or your guests'] taste. In my opinion, there are
only 2 "must-haves": frozen peas, and a mayo dressing. Everything else is up for grabs!
Here's the anatomy of MY version of seven layer salad:
For the dressing, I used 3/4 cup mayo and 1/4 cup sour cream mixed with
a tablespoon of dijon mustard and a squirt of hot sauce for a tangy kick.
Layer everything in, spread the dressing on top, cover and chill.
Works best in a big glass bowl so everyone can see how pretty your work is.
Mix right before serving, collect complements all evening :)
