Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Kraft 7 Layer Salad
  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the iceberg lettuce, chop it into bite-sized pieces, then dice the celery and finely slice the red onion. Thaw the frozen peas.
  2. Layer the chopped lettuce as the bottom layer in a clear glass bowl, followed by diced celery, red onion slices, and thawed peas. Add chopped hard-boiled eggs on top.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine Kraft mayonnaise, Miracle Whip, and sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy, adjusting sweetness as necessary.
