7 Layer Salad

1 large head of chopped romaine lettuce (Spinach is also yummy)
1 cucumber sliced
1 tomato diced
1/2 red onion finely diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 lb bacon fried and chopped
8 oz (or more) Shredded cheddar cheese
Mayonnaise

Use a large serving bowl(big enough to toss the salad in), and begin by seasoning the bowl itself with olive oil and garlic salt. Then layer in the following order:

lettuce
cucumber
tomato
onion
spread mayo on top (enough to cover, but don't go crazy or it will be soggy)
peas
bacon (let it cool first)
Cheese

Prep the night before and keep it in the fridge overnight, but I can't wait that long. Seriously, it's that good! It tastes great either way! Makes for a pretty presentation in a glass bowl. Toss right before serving.
