We have found that it makes a great lunch for work if you gather everything together and layer it in quart sized mason jars! I make it and three of us have four each for lunches and it holds beautifully in the fridge that long!! Glad I found the blog, happy munching all!

Sue,

Turkey bacon would work just fine! 🙂

I have a recipe very similar from a friend but haven’t made it in forever. We don’t do bacon in our house except on the VERY rare occasion and I just don’t think it would taste the same using turkey bacon.

Anita,

I’ve used a punch bowl before, too! Thanks for the tip about walnuts. Nuts would be a nice addition! 🙂

Happpy Mothers Day to ya and Thanks for this!
I got this recipe along with others when a friend made me a recipe box as a wedding gift over fifty years ago. We love and use it often. We add walnuts and when we make this salad we use a punch bowl 🙂 Ya just never have enough of it 🙂

Jean,

I always run into the same veggie to bowl space issues, too! After I get all the veggies layered in before I start on the eggs, bacon and cheese, I squish down the veggies layers as much as I can without damaging them. It never fails that I more than I can fit! 🙂

Mary Ann,

All those variation are what have made this salad stand the test of time. You can substitute the veggies, too. Plus, there’s a million ways to make the dressing. This is a versatile little number, indeed! 🙂

Mary Ann,

Water chestnuts are a great idea! Thanks for the tip!

Beverly,

I completely agree with you! There are so many versions and variations you could have it all the time and not feel like you’re eating the same thing. 🙂

Michele,

Thank you for sharing your story of introduction to “Gloria’s Salad”! I’ve never heard it called that.

Have a happy Mother’s Day! 🙂

I remember vividly my first taste of 7-Layer Salad in Wichita KS, 1977. The recipe came to me as “Gloria’s Layered Salad”, I love it to this day 🙂 Thank you dear Jackie! xoxo

Your dressing sounds so good I’ll be making it the next time I make this salad. Thanks for a new look for this wonderful salad! Have a good week, and if you’re not posting again before Mother’s Day….Happy Mother’s Day!!!!

It has been a favorite of mine for years.

All variations disappear in a flash!

It’s always good and can be made ahead. As long as the mayo keeps the top sealed it will last for several days. No tomatoes or watery veggies have been added to mine but the cherry tomatoes might work if it is to be eaten soon. I let them decide how much dressing they want too. Never had anybody turn it down but I have completely run out of bowl before I got all my goodies in. Guess my eyes and veggies were bigger than my bowl! Whoda thunk?
