Layered Salad

By Sandy Johnson (originally from Sandy Tanner)

• 1 head lettuce, broken into bite-size pieces
• 1 c celery, chopped
• 1 c (or less) green onions, chopped
• 1 pkg (10 oz) frozen peas
• 1 can water chestnuts, sliced
• 1 c ranch dressing (or mayo)
• 2 c jack cheese
• 1/4 c sugar
• salt & pepper to taste

Layer in order: broken lettuce, celery, onions, peas, water chestnuts, cheese.

Sprinkle a little sugar in between each layer as you go.  Add salt & pepper.

Put 1/2 the dressing on.  Repeat, ending with dressing.

Let set for several hours, and resist the urge to add more ranch dressing, b/c as it sits the sugar in each layer and dressing are enough.
