Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Rye bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cups Iceberg lettuce
- 0.75 cups Thousand Island dressing
- 6 ounces Swiss cheese
- 8 ounces Corned beef
- 1 cup Sauerkraut
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Chopped dill pickles
- 0.5 teaspoons Caraway seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each rye bread slice and toast in the skillet, butter-side down, until golden and crisp. Let cool, then cut into crouton-sized cubes.
Chop the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly on the bottom of a large serving dish or trifle bowl.
Drizzle half of the Thousand Island dressing over the lettuce and spread it evenly.
Layer the Swiss cheese slices on top of the dressing, cutting or tearing them if necessary to create an even layer.
Chop the corned beef into small strips and layer it over the cheese.
Evenly spread the sauerkraut over the corned beef, ensuring it's well-drained to avoid sogginess.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in halves and layer them over the sauerkraut for a pop of color and freshness.
Sprinkle the chopped dill pickles evenly over the tomatoes.
Add the toasted rye croutons on top as the final layer, and sprinkle with caraway seeds if using for added flavor.
Drizzle the remaining Thousand Island dressing over the salad, or serve it on the side for guests to add as desired.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
