No episode of grillin’ out is complete without a good side dish, salad or both. This layered salad is great for spring and summer and can be used as a compliment to your cook out or serves as a easy ‘carry in’ dish when you need one. Preparation time is about 25-30 minutes and it makes 8-12 servings dependent on who gets to the bowl first…

€ 1 STRONG Cup, finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar cheese
