It's the quintessential potluck food: seven-layer salad. With its layers of iceberg lettuce, peas, tomatoes, onions, cheddar cheese, bacon and mayonnaise, it's colorful, crunchy and creamy all in one bite.

Food legend has it that it was born out of the South and originally called "seven-layer pea salad."

Although many recipes include hard-cooked eggs and cucumbers (which actually makes a seven-layer salad nine layers), this dish has pretty much remained the same for decades. Until now.

We've decided it's about time this salad got a makeover.

Whether it's different greens, new types of vegetables or a sweet addition, layered salads just got a lot more fun.

Makes 8 servings
Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cherry tomatoes
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 can (2¼ ounces) sliced black olives, drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Parmesan dressing:
¾ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Preparation

Cook tortellini according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water.

In a 2½-quart glass bowl, layer the tortellini, broccoli, tomatoes, celery, olives and cheddar cheese.

Prepare dressing, whisking together all ingredients. Spoon over salad. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Layered Tomato-Watermelon Salad

Watermelon isn't a salad ingredient you typically think of outside of fruit salad, but it pairs deliciously with fresh garden tomatoes, arugula and feta cheese. This recipe came courtesy of Rebecca Guralnick, a personal chef, cooking instructor and caterer in Milwaukee.

"You can really get creative with this salad," she said. "Optional add-ins might include diced, roasted beets, orange segments, shredded carrot, diced avocado or even crumbled bacon.

"The rule of thumb to maintain a beautiful presentation is to layer from heaviest at the bottom to lightest at the top, but in this case I put the watermelon beneath the tomatoes because it will release the most juice as the salad sits on the table."

Inger's Seven-Layer Fruit Salad

Food blogger Inger Wilkerson (from artofnaturalliving.com) thinks sweet when it comes to seven layered ingredients. She came up with this dish based on a fruit salad she learned to make while studying abroad in Ireland and living with a Le Cordon Bleu cook.

"The fruits are pretty interchangeable as long as you use things that are juicy," she said. "With so many colors, it almost can't help but be pretty."
