Make-ahead is a magic word when you're serving a group and trying to minimize last-minute preparation. If you make this salad in a glass bowl, be sure to bring it to the table or buffet before tossing so everyone can see the pretty layers. -Bertha Johnson, Indianapolis, Indiana
Ingredients:
1 head iceberg lettuce, torn
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery

1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
2 cups mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled, optional
