Eriksen Family Seven-Layer Salad

As seen on: “How I Met Your Mother”

What you’ll need: gummy bears, Funyuns, potato chips, and mayonnaise

1. Line the bottom of a giant bowl with potato chips

2. Then add Funyuns (as many as you want)

3. Then mayonnaise

4. Then more chips

5. Then more Funyuns

6. Then more mayonnaise

7. And top with gummy bears

Verdict: doesn’t it look gorgeous? We made a smaller-scale version of the meal, so that we could taste everything in a single bite. The chewy gummy bears go together quite well with the salty chips and Funyuns, but the heavy mayo screws everything up, as mayo often does. It’s such a thick sauce that it overwhelms anything paired with it, which is fine when you’re eating tuna, but not when combined with chips and candy. The conclusion made after eating the salad: gummy bears should be on top of more meals. A gummy bear burger would be DELICIOUS.

(Stop saying gummy so much!)
