Layered Salad
Simple Recipes Easter Recipes Eggs American Vegetables Salads
My first suggestion for this year's Easter.
The quantities are for a 17cm diameter dish. This is enough for 4-5 people (as an appetizer), but if you have more guests at the table, double or triple the recipe and use a larger dish. The larger the dish, the more clearly and beautifully the layers will show. That layered look transforms it into a star of the Easter table.
The parsley used for decoration is homegrown 😉 To the herbs you saw in the photos of the new kitchen, I've added this curly parsley, a rosemary and a basil (the latest arrival). They seem to be doing well.
Ingredients
1 handful mixed green lettuce
a few cherry tomatoes
2 green onion stalks
3 hard-boiled eggs
200g cooked peas (can be canned)
150g grated cheese (I used spicy Gouda)
150g bacon
parsley for decoration
Dressing
200g yogurt (I used sheep and buffalo milk yogurt)
1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 good pinch sugar
salt
Servings: 2-3 (if served as a main course); 4-5 (if served as an appetizer)
How to prepare layered salad
- Slice the eggs (use an egg slicer if you have one). Choose the nicer slices and arrange them around the edge of the dish in which you're arranging the salad. Then place the green lettuce in the center. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Next comes a layer of tomatoes which you cut in 2 or 4 (depending on size). Sprinkle green onion sliced into rounds over the tomatoes. Sprinkle again with a little salt and pepper.
- Chop the remaining egg slices and sprinkle them over the tomato-onion layer. Sprinkle again with a little salt and pepper.
- Next comes the pea layer.
- Mix the dressing ingredients and pour over the peas.
- Grate the cheese on top using the small grater.
- In a pan, without adding any fat, place the bacon slices and fry them on both sides over low heat until golden and crispy. Remove onto absorbent paper towels. When they cool a bit, chop them finely. Sprinkle the bacon "croutons" over the cheese in the center.
- Decorate with parsley leaves.
