Layered Lettuce Salad

This salad is quite popular around here.  I like the taste a lot, but don't know how you can reduce the amount of Miracle Whip.  (It tastes great, but seems like a lot of dressing.)

Layer the following ingredients in a 9x13 pan:

• 1 head lettuce
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
• a layer of sliced radishes
• layer of frozen peas
• generous layer of Miracle Whip
• grated cheddar cheese, med. or old
• crumbled bacon ( or add bacon bits when serving)
• garnish of hard boiled eggs, optional

Chill for several hours
