Very good, but not enough dressing. I also added bacon (in addition to the ham) and a layer of carrots and corn. I woudl make this again!!

Very good salad. Easy to make. Made a few changes, used bacon bits instead of ham, and next time I will make a little bit more dressing to cover the layers better. It was a hit with the family! Thanks

Even the kids loved it... I did not refrigerate as long and it was still yummy!

This salad was pretty good, although I omitted the sugar, and instead of Mayo I used Light Miracle Whip. Also, I had to use about twice as much of the Miracle Whip as stated in the recipe to fully cover the salad. And I used bacon instead of ham. Overall, a good salad for a large family dinner.

I used crumbled bacon instead of the ham. It went over very well. I did not like the consistency of the salad dressing. Next time I might try freshly grated parmesan and not the kind that is already finely grated.

Loved it! I make the traditional 7-layer salad (with bacon, green onions, shredded cheddar cheese) and everyone loves it. I tried this salad because it was similar, but with the parmesan cheese, it was wonderful!
