In Defense of the Seven-Layer SaladSince it’s Potluck Week here in The Kitchn, I’ve been thinking a lot about portable foods. And whenever I think about a crowd-pleasing dish that’s easy to make and easy to transport, I always come back to the Seven-Layer Salad.The Seven-Layer Salad has a bad rep in some circles. I can understand, given that in some recipes the amount of mayo and sugar and bacon is way over the top, leading to a gloppy, overly sweet mess on your plate. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
