11 Layer Salad image

I love the classic 7 layer salad and I love veggies so I just kept adding more ingredients and now it's an 11 layer salad. I made it for Thanksgiving one year and it was the talk of the party and gobbled up fast. I have been told this is the best layer salad recipe ever and I am asked to bring it to all holiday dinners. I think the double layering is the key. This makes a big salad!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. I always have a few eggs left over after making deviled eggs, and this salad is the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based salads, but this one is an exception. The dressing is light and tangy, and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

I didn't have any red onion on hand, so I used a yellow onion instead. It worked just fine, but I think the red onion would have added a bit more color and flavor.

I used frozen peas in this recipe, and they worked just fine. I thawed them out before adding them to the salad.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in this recipe. It turned out great! The yogurt gave the salad a nice tangy flavor.
