Sticking with my childhood favorite, Mom’s quick and easy Seven Layer Salad recipe can even be made the night before – how often can you find a salad that convenient?
This Seven Layer Salad is so good, it graduated from my “party” menu to my “any day of the week” spread – packed with veggies but still loaded with “good stuff” to please even picky eaters!
The best part? Seven Layer Salad uses mostly pantry staples, so you might already have everything you need to whip one up!
This sentence combines the idea of everyone having their own version with the ease of substitution. It uses “endlessly customizable” to emphasize the flexibility of the recipe and suggests using substitutions as a solution, keeping the tone positive and approachable.
Nestled between the crisp lettuce (protected from the dressing) and crunchy celery and red onions, the layers in this salad stay fresh – just keep them intact as you scoop for a perfect bite every time!
Even better, since this salad benefits from at least a 2-hour chill, make it a regular part of your meal plan – it’s delicious and convenient!
