Prepare the day before serving. Arrange lettuce in the bottom of a deep baking

dish(s) or plastic container with a cover. Sprinkle with

bacon pieces. Layer with remaining vegetables and sprinkle with cheese.

Combine salad dressing and sugar in a bowl. Spread

over top of salad so it is air tight. Cover and refrigerate until

serving time.

Just before serving, toss and add croutons, if desired.
