SEVEN LAYER SALAD

1/2 heads iceberg lettuce, washed
1 cup bottled real bacon pieces
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen peas, thawed
4 celery ribs, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and shredded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise type salad dressing
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup croutons (optional, to serve)

Prepare day before serving.

Arrange lettuce in the bottom of a deep baking dish or plastic container with a cover. Sprinkle with bacon pieces. Layer with remaining vegetables and sprinkle with cheese.

Combine salad dressing and sugar in a bowl. Spread over top of salad so it is air tight. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

Just before serving, toss and add croutons, if desired.
