Hearty Eight-Layer Salad
I'm a 77-year-old great-grandmother and have been making this satisfying salad for years. It's my most requested recipe for family gatherings. It's simple to make ahead of time and looks lovely with all of its tasty layers. Dijon mustard gives a nice kick to the dressing. -Noreen Meyer, Madison, Wisconsin

Great presentation.
Great!
ive made this recipe several times, its always a big hit!!! Even my picky eaters not only love it but also request it!!!
This salad always gets compliments from the many people I have made it for... Many are surprised how well the pasta and lettuce go together. I make it in a 9 x 13 glass pan -- it's easier to dish out and your sure to get a taste of all ingredients. This is a favorite for sure!
This is a big hit whenever I make it. I usually omit the peas and it's still delicious
I love making layered salads. I liked the added ingredient of pasta. I made this for a brunch and my girlfriends loved it and all asked for the recipe.
Just found a new fave salad!! This is sooo good - did exactly as the recipe said except I omitted the eggs because my Hubby can't stand them! Went down really well and the leftovers are great the next day too.
I get compliments on this every time i bring it to a family gathering. It is good!
Looks very pretty on a buffet, and is delicious! Have made it several times and have had requests for this recipe.
This is AMAZING! I substituted red onion for the green onions, and turkey for the salami - fabulous!
