Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup parsley leaves
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup basil leaves
2 (8.8 oz) packages cooked beets, diced
3 to 4 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
3 to 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 ribs celery, thinly sliced
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, add mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and zest, and herbs. Pulse until smooth. Refrigerate until you are ready to use.
  • Layer your salad in a trifle dish. Start with the beets on the bottom in an even layer. Next add a layer of each lettuce, celery, blue cheese, and peas.
