LAYERED VEGETABLE SALAD 
(Must make a day ahead.)

1 head lettuce, torn in bite size pieces
1/2 c. chopped red onion
1/2 c. chopped celery
1 (5 oz.) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 pkg. frozen green peas or 1 can LeSueur peas
1 1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. sugar
2 lg. tomatoes, sliced
4 hard boiled eggs, sliced
6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
1/2 c. grated cheese (cheddar or American)

In a large glass bowl, make an even layer of lettuce. Next sprinkle onion and celery. Layer water chestnuts and then peas (unthawed, if frozen). Spread mayonnaise evenly over top. Sprinkle sugar over mayonnaise. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

The next day, layer sliced tomatoes and eggs. Next sprinkle bacon and top it all off with grated cheese.

Be sure to serve EVERY layer for full flavor.
