'Tis the Season for Salad - 7 Layer Salad

This is another favorite Summer salad.  It is so cool and refreshing.  It makes a better side dish than a main dish (for my family at least) but is nice to make since you have to make it ahead (it's done for dinner the next night).

7 Layer Salad

1 medium head lettuce, torn in pieces
2 - 3 hard cooked eggs, chopped
1/2 cup green onion (tops and all)
1/2 cup green pepper
1 box frozen peas (cooked and drained)
1 cup mayonnaise plus 2 tablespoons sugar (mix together)
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 pieces bacon, fried and crumbled

Layer each part, even mayonnaise. Let set in refrigerator overnight.
