I enjoy making this Lion House Layered Salad for get togethers. There is just something about the way it layers up. It makes for a pretty salad and looks a little extra special. Or if you want, just make it for dinner, it does come together pretty quickly.
What Ingredients Do I Need For Lion House Layered Salad?
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this Salad (scroll down for the full recipe):
- Iceberg lettuce
- Bacon
- Frozen peas
- Sugar
- Salt
- Pepper
- Swiss cheese
- Green onion
- Mayonnaise

How Do I Make Lion House Layered Salad?
Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make this Salad (scroll down for the full recipe):
- Wash and pat dry the lettuce.
- Dice and saute the bacon until it is crisp; drain on a paper towel.
- Rinse the peas with hot water and allow them to drain.
- Tear the lettuce into bite-size pieces and place them in a medium to large bowl.
- Sprinkle with sugar, salt and pepper.
- Add the peas, 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup chopped green onion, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, and 1/4 cup salad dressing.
- The ingredients may be layered, if desired, with the mayonnaise and salad dressing mixed together and spread on the top.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Or chill, and gently mix together when ready to serve.
- This also makes very nice individual salads.
Can I Change up Some of the Ingredients in this Lion House Layered Salad?
- I would not leave out any of the ingredients in this salad (unless you really don’t care for some of them).
- But you could add in some other ingredients if you wanted to.
- Like we love sunflower seeds or grated carrots; chick peas are another one of my favorites.
- You really can add anything that you enjoy as long as it won’t make the lettuce go soggy.
This looks like orange cheese, but it is grated carrots! 🙂
Other Ingredients that you May Want to Try in this Salad:
- And guess what, I just happen to have some fresh cucumbers so I think I will add them as well.
- Also if you are not big on Swiss cheese, use whatever flavor you like!
- And for just a little extra protein, I will add 3 crumbled boiled eggs.

My mother-in-law makes a great layered salad that we all love, but I never think to make them myself. I really need to change that and this looks like a great recipe to start with!

It really is a delicious Layered Salad. The Lion House is actually in Salt Lake City and I have been lucky enough to have the original salad. I am glad to have the chance to share the recipe so others can try it too.

This really is a wonderful Salad. I feel kind of lucky that I live so close to the Lion House that I have actually had the Salad there. But I love sharing it so those that have not had the chance to eat the Salad at the Lion House, can also try it!

It really is a good dinner to feed a crowd. I have made individual salads before for each guest – hmm – I’m thinking that I was bored that day. It did turn out really well, but it was a little time consuming. I hope that things are going well for you!
