I love 7 layer salad but especially this time of year, it is so easy to make. I make a taco salad version, which my family loves. You will need a large bowl, if you have a clear bowl, it looks especially nice.
Layer in order:
6 cups chopped lettuce
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped green onions
1 cup chopped avocado
1 cup cubed cooked chicken
1 cup salsa
In a separate bowl mix together, 1 cup sour cream and 1/2 cup mayonnaise, add 2 tsp. chili powder, 1 tsp. ground cumin, if you like it more spicy a couple drops of red pepper sauce. Mix it together and spread over the top of the layered salad carefully and all the way to the edges. Next spread 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 sliced black olives. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve.
This is great with some bread and summer fruits for supper.
Yes I know it is technically more that 7 layers but who cares when it tastes so good and is so easy to make. You can make this early in the day and have supper all ready.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hmm salad...that will go well with my crusty bread!! Save some for me please!
This is one of our favorites too!
It's starting to get hot here now so that would be really good. Anything that doesn't require a lot of cooking in the summer is very good.
Have a great weekend,

I haven't ever made this, only bought it. I have all those ingredients on hand and will give it a go this afternoon!
I have never had a 7-layer taco salad before. It sounds wonderful and it is going right into my "to try" folder. Thanks for sharing!
That's a good taco salad...you might like this one too Anne. I made that soft taco salad for dinner one time. I also made something like fish guacamole taco salad one time. =)
