Colorful Layered Salad

"I made this for Thanksgiving yesterday, and it turned out beautiful. So many different flavors. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my own taste. I added sliced cheddar, shredded mozzarella cheese and carrots and left out the peppers and eggs. The dressing looks wonderful, though we just used bottled Italian. You can put your own spin on it. Either way, it will be good. I will post the recipe how I found it."

  1. I've tried many layered salads & I enjoyed the combination here. French fried onions are a guilty please so I thought they added a pleasing crunch. I used a cured ham & diced it and yellow sunburst tomatoes cut in half. The dressing was too tangy for one diner. I think next time I would go with either homemade ranch or a honey mustard dressing. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
     
  2. Tried this a couple of weeks ago. I've had several recipes for layered salads, but never one using bell peppers and radishes. Turned out great and the dressing was a very different twist. Thanks Vicky for a great new recipe in my collection!

Hello! I am a resident of WA state, and I must say I love it here.... especially where coffee flows so freely! I live with my SO, Mark, and he has lived here since 2001 (originally from San Diego, CA). We live a quiet life and enjoy just about anything outdoors. I love to travel... sometimes just to pick a spot on the map and make a weekend out of it. Since I have been here, some of my favorite places to visit are Oregon and Washington (Cle Elum, Leavenworth, Spokane, Bonney Lake, Maple Valley, Issaquah, etc). My favorite place in Seattle is Pike Place Market, even though I don't get there often. And, Mt. Rainier is a scene I often photograph. <img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u158/VickyJ_photo/rainier.jpg"> Originally, I am from Jamestown, NY home of <img src="http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/CLASS/130-120~Lucille-Ball-Posters.jpg"><img src="http://maioush.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/lucille-ball-8553.jpg"> She is loved by all that live there and the surrounding areas! Another famous person that is from the area is Natalie Merchant and former lead singer of the 10,000 Maniacs (rock band). <img src="http://photo.sing365.com/music/picture.nsf/Natalie-Merchant-photo/48256C71003578A248256926002F4F75/$file/natalie.jpg"> I think that is about it for famous people. There was a question posted in one of the forums about who I would love to have for dinner, right now. I answered God, Jesus, my mom, Grandma Lundin, Grandpa Lundin and Aunt Sig. They are my role models in life. Each has molded me into the person I am now. My fondest memories are spending Thanksgiving and Christmas-time at my Grandma's house, and the whole family around. SO MUCH good food! I lived in that small city my whole life and graduated from high school just outside of town. I have a strong restaurant background.. everything from Pizza Hut to a local italian restaurant called Vullo's. It seems, though, I have a passion for machining technology, even though I didn't go to school for that. I grew up with a local manufacturer of machine/tooling systems soldering/wiring circuit bds and assembling whole systems. That wasn't enough for me so, I went to college and obtained my AAS in Electrical Technology. The same company hired me back to work in their service dept as a technician. I had planned to go further to become an electromechanical engineer for the company, but I was laid off. I have been out of it so long, I would probably have to start over from scratch.. .that is the problem with electronics/technology.
