Seven Layer Salad

1 large sweet onion, chopped finely

1 large cucumber, peeled and diced

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 6 ounce package of frozen green peas, thawed

1/2 cup mayonnaise (or I prefer Ranch dressing).

In a glass bowl, place shredded lettuce. Cover with a layer of cucumber, then onion, then peas and then mayonnaise. Top mayo with back & cheese. Refrigerate overnight & serve.

Make sure the lettuce is on the dry side, however, or the salad will get "runny" and will not be as good.
