I posted this recipe a couple of years ago, but I had
another request for it this week. It’s the second best use for a trifle bowl
(after an English trifle, of course) and it’s a huge hit at potlucks,
picnics and barbecues.
English Seven-Layer Salad
4 peeled carrots, cut into julienne strips
1 small head of butter lettuce (Romaine is a good
substitute.)
1 English cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
1/2 cup frozen corn
2 cups small seashell pasta, cooked al dente (Not too soft!)
2 cups mayonnaise (It’s more work, but homemade is really
the best.)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher
(coarse) salt
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
Layer the first six ingredients in a trifle bowl in the
order listed, so carrots will be on the bottom and pasta on the top. In a small
bowl, combine mayo and seasonings; spread carefully over pasta. Top with cheese
and refrigerate, covered, for at least an hour to let the flavors blend.
