7 Layer Southwest Salad in the Trifle Bowl?????

[Morvin]

has anyone made the 7 layer southwest salad in the trifle bowl? Does it all fit? I am makeing this at a show tonight and i would much rather do it in the trifle bowl then take the big simple additions square bowl (i don't have the dots bowl yet) But i am concerned that it won't fit.

Thank you

Heather

I've made it in mine & it fits just fine! I've even added chicken or ground beef to it. So yummy!

It fits. I make it in 2 sets of layers because it's easier for everyone to get all the layers. A clustermate puts the tomatoes (halved grape tomatoes) up against the glass, so they make a pretty layer.Edit: to clarify - I make a single batch of salad, and use half of each ingredient at a time to make 2 sets of layers. Not a double batch.

Good point, Ann. I did that too with mine.

This is what I do too - I also add a layer of corn for even more color and flavor!

This may helpI have a book full of trifle bowl recipes including salads that I introduced last year. Deb said I should offer it again this year. But yes, any salad with multiple ingredients will work.
