Seven Layer Salad Squares
Recipe
|
| 2 packages (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls |
| 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
| 1/2 cup spoonable salad dressing (see Cook's Tip) |
| 1 garlic clove, pressed |
| 6 slices bacon, crisply cooked, drained and crumbled, divided |
| 1 cup frozen peas, thawed, divided |
| 3 plum tomatoes, sliced |
| 2 cups thinly sliced iceberg lettuce |
| 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
| 1/2 cup coarsely chopped red onion | |
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Unroll one package of crescent dough across one end of Stoneware Bar Pan with longest sides of dough across width of pan. Repeat with remaining package of dough, filling pan. Using Baker's Roller®, roll dough to seal seams and press up sides to form crust. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.
- In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese, salad dressing and garlic pressed with Garlic Press; whisk until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add half of the bacon and half of the peas; mix well. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crust using Large Spreader.
- Using Ultimate Slice & Grate fitted with v-shaped blade, slice tomatoes; arrange over cream cheese mixture. Thinly slice lettuce using Chef's Knife. Grate cheddar cheese using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Coarsely chop red onion using Food Chopper. Sprinkle remaining bacon, remaining peas, lettuce, cheddar cheese and onion evenly over tomatoes. Cut into squares using Utility Knife; serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.

Cook's Tip: Spoonable salad dressing is a jarred dressing similar to mayonnaise. If desired, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 teaspoons cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt can be substituted for the spoonable salad dressing.
To soften cream cheese, microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until softened.
