If there was ever such thing as a savory trifle, this American Layered Salad is it. Best served in mason jars or a clear bowl to reveal each tasty layer, this salad is a winner for picnics and BBQs. Almost as much fun to assemble as it is to eat, this salty yet fresh salad will keep overnight in the fridge before serving, and will even enhance the flavors to wait a little. Much to our surprise, the lettuce doesn't go soggy, so don't worry about that.
