DRESSING
¹⁄₂ cup mayonnaise
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon stone ground dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper (or to taste)

SALAD
1 cup iceberg lettuce, chopped finely
1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped finely
¹⁄₂ cup cucumber, julienned
¹⁄₄ cup shredded carrot
1 cup blanched fresh corn kernels
1 cup yellow tomatoes, chopped
1 cup tomatoes, chopped

directions

Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk together well.
Refrigerate when done.
(Note: You can thin the dressing with some buttermilk if you prefer) Prepare salad ingredients.
Starting at the top of the above list, place each ingredient in the bottom of a clear glass container.
For instance, iceberg lettuce goes in first, followed by the romaine lettuce, the julienned cucumber, the carrots and so forth.
Don't be afraid to pack or compress the ingredients a bit as you go if you're running out of room.
If you're serving the salad soon, add dressing when each layer is finished.
Otherwise, reserve dressing until just before serving.
When finished, refrigerate.

This is a yummy dressing!! I changed a couple things to make use of veggies I had...so I only used 1 cup of tomatoes and replaced them w/ radishes and celery and red cabbage. I think to make as written would be best with all the tomatoes, even so, it did seem a little too much dressing. Next time I will keep the dressing to the side. Live and learn! Thanks, will make this again.

I loved making this salad, as it was such a easy and creative task! I have a lovely round glass bowl with a flat bottom -- perfect for this show-off salad!! Every layer showed beautifully. In fact, for a buffet table this can be multiplied by 5 or more and made in a large glass bowl, and it will look stunning. I made the dressing first, and all I added was a little salt. It tastes great. The whole salad comes together with a beautiful crispy, crunchy freshness. Maybe a layer of chopped spring onions would also be a nice addition. A simple idea but a great recipe. Thanks, Mirj!!
