Refrigerated Layered Salad is a super make-ahead salad that holds up well and looks as good as it tastes. With a rainbow of colorful layers and taste bud-pleasing textures, this salad recipe is perfect for entertaining.
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 medium head iceberg lettuce, shredded
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
- 1 medium-sized red onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 10 radishes, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup real bacon bits
What to Do
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar, and curry powder; mix well and set aside.
- In a large glass serving bowl, layer the lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, radishes, cheese, and bacon bits.
- Spread curry dressing over top; cover and chill overnight, or at least 2 hours, before serving. Toss and serve.
Note
The nice thing about this salad is that it can be made a day ahead of time so there's no last-minute chopping and preparation. Of course, if you want to make it just before serving, you can do that, too. It's just as good that way!

What about nuts sprinkled on top just before it's on the table? It is good that way too.

A layered salad is my new favorite way to make salad...but I use a variety of ingredients:romaine lettuce, chopped, grated carrots, chopped tomatoes, sliced or whole olives, spinach, grated cheese, chopped broccoli, frozen peas that defrost in the salad (;)), mushrooms, you can use anything and it makes a beautiful presentation, especially in a clear glass bowl! I serve the dressing on the side so guests can choose...

Mr. Food, you have so many good recipes. Is there a chance you'll have recipes on cards? They are so much easier to file away (and to find later). Hope this can be done. Thanks for the good recipes.
