Sorry...forgot to do this.  I make it from memory, but figured to post I better get original cookbook recipe for amounts. 

This salad will keep for 3 days in fridge.  You have to let it set all day or overnight for flavors to mix or it WILL NOT taste right.  Don't make it and try to serve it a few hours later.  At least make it in the morning for evening meal!

Layered Vegetable Salad

3 cups bite-size leaf lettuce (tear into small pieces)...you can use iceburg, I just don't use iceburg anymore since it has no nutritional value
1/2 c celery, sliced fine
1/2 c finely chopped bell pepper
1/2 c chopped onion...you can adjust this to less if you don't like raw onion
1 small bag frozen green peas (can be thawed or frozen)
1 pt (2 cups) light mayonnaise
8-12 oz. grated cheddar cheese
1 jar or pkg. real bacon bits...not Bacos

In 9 x 13 dish layer: lettuce, then celery, bell pepper, onion, peas...top with mayonnaise (Is fairly thick...at least 1/4"), then cheese, adjusted to desired amount, then bacon bits sprinkled over top of cheese.

Refrigerate for day or overnight...keeps 3 days in fridge!

Thanks for sharing the recipe.  This sounds yummy and I will have to try it out real soon.

I make this all the time for work functions and everyone loves it!

I use the canned Le Seur peas because I like them better and you can change up the veggies, too (brocolli for the bell pepper, etc).

It lasts a few days int he fridge as long as you don't mix up the mayo layer.
