A coworker brought in a layered salad the other day and it was so yummy I decided to make my own take on it. I bet most people's grandmas have a similar salad recipe so this is comfort food. My favorite part is how it gets less and less healthy as you work your way to the top! I will say that although it looked pretty in this trifle dish it probably needed a bigger bowl to serve it from. We ended up making it a tossed salad so that people could get everything. Enjoy!
