Leave it layered and use a salad tongs to grab a serving, making sure you get to the bottom of the serving bowl. Pull straight up and deposit the serving on your plate where you can mix/lightly toss before eating.

John Tesh on his radio show this week listed a seven layer salad healthier for you than an Artichoke salad. He was doing one of those we fall for the name over the ingredient. So I guess you have to really pay attention to the alternate choice being really healthy. Personally I just enjoy the holiday and eat what I want.

Healthier salad???? I always get low fat lettuce, peas, celery, and onions!!!!!!

It's funny, because I was just thinking today about making a 7 layer salad for Christmas. The best thing about these is that you can make it ahead. I have always made it in a trifle bowl-it is a pretty presentation, and I have mixed everything before serving. It is correct, though, that leftovers are not good the next day.

I would love to do this in a serving dish where you could just use tongs and get a serving of everything. I am confused though-it seems like a 9 x 13 dish would not hold everything. I do like the idea of not mixing the salad, and letting everyone use tongs to get what they wanted, and to leave the salad intact. Has anyone actually used a 9 x 13 see through, pyrex style flat serving dish? Does it work out?

Rosehill, I have a sister-in-law who makes her layered lettuce salad in a 9x13 Pyrex pan. It doesn't have the visual wow but it works. The layers are thinner. She tops the mayo layer with shredded cheddar cheese & crumbled bacon so the top is colorful. Her pan has a snap on lid & makes it the afternoon/night before the meal.
