Ingredients
  

  • 1 head lettuce
  • 7 stalks celery
  • 1 can water chestnuts drained
  • green onions sliced
  • 1 box frozen peas
  • mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • bacon bits
  • shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Use a very large bowl.
  • 1st layer: tear up one head of lettuce.
  • 2nd layer: chop 7 stalks celery.
  • 3rd layer: 1 can water chestnuts (drained).
  • 4th layer: green onions, sliced.
  • 5th layer: 1 box frozen peas.
  • 6th layer: cover the entire salad with mayonnaise or Miracle Whip so that the salad is entirely covered, with no ingredients showing (this will keep the lettuce very crisp).
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • 7th layer: bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese are added immediately before serving.
  • Stir ingredients and serve.

Notes

The original recipe calls for using a 1 quart jar of mayo or salad dressing (Miracle Whip), but I've found that to be a bit too much.
