Layer Salad

We made this simple salad for one of the many holiday parties that we attended this year. When we say simple, it really is. 


Typically, this is called a 7 layer salad, but we just added ingredients until we felt like the tastes would play off each other nicely. It requires a bit of chopping, but you can really add whatever toppings you like.


Here's what we used:
Red leaf lettuce
1 can of sliced olives
about 3/4 of a head of cauliflower
1 small package of grape tomatoes
5-6 scallions
1 red bell pepper
about a cup of mild cheddar cheese
Ranch dressing


Here's what you do:
Start by chopping your lettuce into bite-sized pieces. We switched to a larger bowl after this picture. We didn't want it all the way to the top because we had to travel with it.

Next, just layer on your ingredients one at a time.

Finally, top with the dressing and garnish with some more tomatoes. You could use a healthier dressing than ranch, but we figured most people like ranch dressing, so we went with it.

Enjoy!
