Layered Salad {The Dressing is DELISH!} {TMH}

Layered Salad

 

The beautiful and delicious Layered Salad I shared on The Mother Huddle this week would be the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving spread. If it’s the first time you’re cooking a turkey this year, check out these Simple “How to” Tips for Cooking a Turkey.

I love this salad. It is delicious and so pretty.

The dressing really makes the salad! The bacon doesn’t hurt anything either. 🙂
