Taking it to the next layer.
The classic seven-layer salad is a sight to behold, and I mean that more in the literal sense than the figurative. It's generally served in trifle dishes or glass bowls so that the kids at the potluck can all go,"Ooh, there really are seven layers!" as they count up from the bottom: lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bacon, cheese, onions, and boiled eggs , all topped with a thick layer of mayonnaise that seals in the ingredients like spackle over drywall.
I decided to take that concept and upgrade it a bit with some more seasonal and holiday meal-appropriate ingredients. Here's what I do: I like cucumbers , so I kept them, but rather than simply slicing them and tossing them in, I peel, seed, and salt them, letting them rest in a strainer for a few minutes in order to draw out excess moisture and improve their texture and flavor.
