I have made this many times, it's a family favorite. I have always thinned out the mayo a little, by adding a little milk and sugar. Great salad.

Great picnic or family reunion food. Although I prefer using Miracle Whip on this one...

Delicious recipe, however VERY high in fat (over 58 g per serving, based on 6 servings, almost 90% of the recommended allowance for a whole day!!!) and high in calories as well (over 554 just for the mayo, cheese and bacon alone, not counting the other ingredients). OK, If you are not counting calories. That is why I am rating it lower than 5 stars.

I don't eat this myself, but I do enjoy making it. I make it every Thanksgiving for my dad, who loves seven-layer salad. My mom says she just can't seem to make it right. I'm very patient (she is not), so this is an easy dish for me. It takes patience to get the layers just right. I use a tall glass dish so you can see all the layers through the glass. Makes a colorful sight at the dinner table.

Love this salad. I changed it around somewhat, but that is one of great things about this recipe, you can adapt it to any taste. I eliminated the green pepper layer, and added a layer of toasted slivered almonds, also added a layer of cooked cubed chicken and topped the salad with a ring of diced, seeded Roma tomatoes. Looked great and tasted fantasic. Just added some French Bread and a glass of white wine and we had a great supper. Perfect for a hot summer day!

I took this salad to a family gathering and it was the first to go! I added 1/2 teaspoon of Fox Point seasoning (from Penzeys Spices which is a blend of salt, shallots, chives, garlic, onion, and green peppercorns)to the mayo. It gave the salad a litte "kick"!
