  Note: The name in the family recipe book is "Seven Layer Salad."
  Don't ask me why? It really isn't seven layers, but it has become
  my favorite. (BC)
  
  Using a fairly deep baking dish (I use a 4" deep 9x9" Pyrex pan),
  place a bed of chopped lettuce on the bottom, then lay down a layer
  of celery, then onion, then green peppers, then peas, then eggs.
  The order is really not that important, and they will not really
  constitute a solid "layer."
  
  Then and another layer of lettuce and repeat the procedure.
  
  Mix mayonaise and sugar together and spread on top.
  
  Sprinkle bacon and cheddar cheese on top of the whole thing.
  
  Cover tightly and leave overnight in refrigerator, allowing
  mayonaise to permeate the whole thing.
