1 head romain or lettuce,broken up
1 cup dice celery
1 cup diced onions
1 diced green pepper
1 package frozen green peas, uncooked and thawed
1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
8 ounces cooked bacon, crumbled
Directions:
Cook and crumble or chop the bacon (see Baked Bacon in the Oven and Air Fryer Bacon for easy methods).
Prepare the dressing: in a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon sugar. Set aside.
Place the lettuce in the bottom of a LARGE, flat, clear serving dish—you want to be able to see the layers and spread them evenly.
Next, build the salad layers, spreading each evenly. Start with celery and onions.
Add the green peppers and peas.
Spread the dressing evenly over the top. Layer on the cheese, then the bacon. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
To serve, use long salad tongs or a similar long spoon that will allow you to reach down through the layers. Make sure each serving has a little of everything.
