    I love layered salad, although ours is slightly different - no Miracle Whip (whatever that is) in the UK. We don't mix it before serving, just scoop it onto the plates so everybody can see the glorious layers. My daughter-in-law from Australia game me the recipe and said her mother had found it in Woman's Weekly in the 70s. Now I want to make one!

    I had an eight layer salad like this years and years ago, loved it and finally got the recipe from my sister in law's friend who made it.... then I lost it! I am so happy to see this lens because it looks exactly like the one I had and now I can't wait to make it, so thank you for sharing!
  • joyldev Mar 23, 2012 @ 4:59 pm | delete
    Great lens. My three favorite parts of this lens: the vibrant images (very nice), the reveal of your secret ingredients in a black box module (genius and very kind of you since many chefs don't always reveal their secret ingredients), and sharing the information about the Arthur Courts design of bowls. God bless!

    I've only had 8 layer (and 7 layer) salad a few times, but I really liked it!
  • Jillynn Mar 23, 2012 @ 9:41 am | delete
    My son in law will do anything to get me to make my layered salad. Inspired from the original, I add or subtract things to give variety but generally use a mix of spring greens and spinach for the "lettuce," colorful bell peppers, depending on the season (red, yellow or orange) and pomegranate seeds or cut up mango which introduces a delicious sweetness. Thanks for the great lens!

    My grandma made something like this and it was good. But I'll have to try your recipe. Great lens.

    Your stuff is always so good - I will try this. I prefer mayonnaise over Miracle Whip though - do you think it makes a difference?
  • JaguarJulie Mar 22, 2012 @ 2:41 pm | delete
    Well, I haven't tried mayonnaise but think it should work OK. I suggest that you taste test the topping mix before you add it to the salad. I think the Miracle Whip gives a lighter or sweeter zip.

    Hi,

    I sure do wish I had your skill on cooking. This actually looks like something I can do :) Most of the time if I make something it burns. I don't need to heat this. Also a big fan of Cayenne Pepper and Horseradish that should give it the extra zip it needs. I saved this so could have future reference on a Eight Layer Salad.
  • louiswery Sep 30, 2010 @ 4:20 pm | delete

    Hi, Julie.

    Love the look and sound of this! The concept rings a vague bell at the back of my mind regarding something my mother used to prepare when I was a child but I don't think she called it layered salad - I may be wrong, however, the memory is hazy. I'm definitely going to take it on board though and see what I can come up with. Hope you're doing great!!

    I'm not fan of cheddar but indeed, it looks like the best cheese to mix into a salad! I'm going to save the page on my computer so that I can copy one of those recipes in case the Sun would come here and that I can host a barbecue party - perfect for such a meal!
  • JaguarJulie Jun 14, 2010 @ 8:34 am | delete
    Well, cheddar works good for us because it holds up well; it has integrity. And, I can opt to have mild, medium or SHARP! It is the prettiest salad that I make and always a hit no matter WHO is in the audience. Hugs!

    OMG, I thought I could remember this without rereading the recipe! LOL...I think all I got right was the peas, bacon and cheddar cheese. Oh, and the horseradish sauce. So here's my question...how deep should the layer of mayonnaise/sourcream/horseradish be so that you get a good mix on all the vegies without overglopping it?

    Julie, Julie, Julie, you've outdone yourself, once again...I LOVE 7-Layer Salad but have only had the traditional version. Can hardly wait to make it with your "secret" ingredients. Another brillian lens and I continue to learn from you. Thanks.

    I love 7-layer salads, and your 8-layer sounds yummy. Great job with the directions and photos. Favorited, 5*, and already a fan! ;-)
