Inspired by: Grandma's Layered Salad
Note: the ingredients are based on using a trifle dish to serve, if you are using a larger dish you will need to make adjustments to the amount of each ingredient.

1 green bell pepper, diced
3-4 plum tomatoes, diced
4 kirby cucumbers, diced
1-2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced
2 cups low-fat mayonaise
1 cup reduced fat sour cream
1 (1 ounce) package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
8 ounces reduced fat shredded chedder cheese
Directions
In a trifle dish, layer the lettuce, green bell pepper, tomatoes, cucumbers and scallions.
Combine the mayo through dressing mix . Make sure to mix thoroughly. Then pour over the top of the vegetables, making sure to seal the edges.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours prior to serving.

I had a salad very similar to that in Tennessee last year except they put in a layer of cornbread cubes! It was pretty tasty (and I don't even like mayo)
Salads are great in the summer! I am never in the mood for something hot..unless it is cookies out of the oven..ha!
I love salads in the summer. This layered salad sounds really good.
Mmmmm.....we must be on the same page with our summer salad posts. ;-) I love yours....I remember having it as a kid with bacon as one of the layers. Yummy!!
I make a layered salad whenever I have to drop off dinner for another family. I love that they keep so nicely for a day and that they still taste fresh and crisp. thanks for the reminder.
I love layered salads. They are always delicious and such a pretty dish. This one sounds great!
I love your banner!
I can imagine how pretty this must look. And I'm loving the PB smoothie too!
Thanks for finding me, so I could discover you in turn :)
Sounds lovely. Oh, and @Veronica...what are cornbread cubes?? LOL! I must not be far enough south to know...but it sounds good.
Sorry lol.
Great blog!
Ahh, makes me wish for warmer weather since today it's seriously grey outside. I make something like this, but use no mayo or cream. Straight vinaigrette. Can't get my husband to touch anything with mayo in it! Go figure.
I love, love salad. You version sounds delicious!
I am sooo ready for summer food. This sounds really great! I love that you used low fat mayo.
I love that this is low fat... cant wait to try it!
