Editor’s note: The Daily Reporter is featuring local recipes and the stories behind them. This recipe was originally submitted to the “Homemade Hometown Favorites” cookbook by the Hancock County Extension Homemakers by Vickie Ramsey in memory of her mother, Nell Goode. Here, Teresa Bowlby shares the same recipe and, like Ramsey, serves it in an heirloom glass dish.
“Many times I have enjoyed the Seven Layer Salad recipe that my mother used to make. I was thrilled when I found nearly the same recipe in the ‘Homemade Hometown Favorites’ cookbook. I love presenting the salad in the glass bowl that I received during my bridal shower…many, many years ago!” — Teresa Bowlby, Greenfield
