7 Layer Salad

1 head of Iceberg lettuce( I also use Romain)
1 cup finely chopped green peppers
1 10 oz pkg. frozen peas, lightly steamed until just cooked, then cooled by placing in cold water.
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 bunch green onions, minced

Dressing
1 pint mayonaise (or miracle whip if you like that)
1 pint sour cream
1/2 cup sugar

Topping
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1- 3 oz. can bacon bits


Layer first 5 ingredients in a 9x13 pan. Combine ingredients for dressing in a mixing bowl or blender, add milk to thin if necessary( It should be thick enough to sit on top of the sald, but thin enough to slowly pour). Pour dressing over salad. Sprinkle with cheese and bacon bits. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or serve immediatley.

I usually do half of this recipe for our small family. The dressing can be made by just mixing equal parts of mayo and sour cream and however much sugar tastes good.

Note: I also add shredded carrots and any leftover veggies I have in the fridge.
