LAYERED SALAD REUBEN-STYLE

Layered Salad Reuben-Style image

Here's a fun twist on the traditional seven-layer salad that's great for large gatherings any time of year. It combines lettuce and tomato with Reuben sandwich fixings. I like to buy pastrami in 1/4-inch slices at the deli counter and chop it up at home, but you can use leftover corned beef instead. -Amy Smith, Avon, Connecticut
