In a large preferably glass bowl (my punch bowl is perfect), cut up & layer the following (I use the food processor for the celery, peppers, onion, & cheese):

A large head of Romaine lettuce, frozen peas or chopped peas in the pod, celery, green peppers or the mini-colored peppers, a mild onion. Cover with a thin layer of mayo & grated cheddar cheese. For added flavor, sprinkle on slithered almonds, toasted flax or other seeds. The original recipe used bacon. I splurged with crab for a birthday party. Cover & refrigerate 4 hour to overnight. Toss & serve.
