Seven Layer Salad

This salad recipe is a classic. Bright and pretty in color and decadent in flavor, you'll be shocked that it only takes about 15 minutes to put together! I've been eating this salad with lunch and dinner for the last three days, and haven't gotten tired of it one bit! My husband liked it so much he suggested removing the lettuce all together and serving it as a dip at our next football watch party....not a bad idea. 

So let's go over the perks of making this salad, shall we?

• The ingredients are super inexpensive (minus the bacon, but you can omit it if you want to)
• The ingredients are super easy to find
• Zero prep time
• It will last for up to a week
• It makes a ton of salad! (Perfect for a weekly make-ahead meal or a big family)

Convinced yet? Good.

And just like that, an old classic becomes a star again. What are some classic recipes that you love?
