Ingredients

  • 1 head lettuce shredded
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced (see note 1)
  • 2-3 celery ribs sliced (about 1 cup)
  • 12 ounces frozen peas thawed (see note 2)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (see note 3)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 pound Bacon fried and crumbled

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spread the lettuce evenly in the bottom of a glass bowl. Top with red onion, celery, and peas.
  2. Spread mayonnaise on top of celery and sprinkle with sugar. Top with cheddar cheese and bacon. Cover and chill.

Notes

  • Red onion: I love the color of this one, but you can substitute white, yellow, or sweet onion if you prefer. Tame harsh raw onions by soaking in ice water for 10 minutes, then draining well.
  • Peas: Run frozen peas under cold water until thawed and drain well.
  • Sugar: A little sugar transforms your mayo into salad dressing, but you can leave it out if you want to.
