Layered Trifle Salad Recipe
Directions
  • Layer ingredients in a trifle bowl or a 9" x 13" glass dish. Begin by layering the greens first, either combining the greens or layering each type of green individually. Then layer the remaining ingredients: shredded cheese, water chestnuts, red onion, grape tomatoes, mushrooms, green peas, and hard boiled eggs in order listed or as you desire. Sprinkle hard boiled eggs with paprika.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with sugar. Spread mixture evenly over the last layer of salad. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate overnight or for as long as 24 hours. Immediately before serving, sprinkle with crumbled bacon.

    Serves 6 as a main entree; serves approximately 12 as a side dish.
