Layered green salad

From: Mom...

1 head of lettuce typically ice berg chopped
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced  carrots
1/2 cup green onions chopped
1/2 cup green pepper chopped
1 cup diced fresh mushrooms (optional)
1 10 oz. package frozen green peas
1/2 cup cauliflower chopped
1/2 cup broccoli chopped
1 1/2 cups miracle whip or mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 T sugar
1/4 t salt
1/8 t pepper
1/2 t season salt
1 t lemon juice
1/2 cup cheddar cheese grated
5 strips of bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
After all of the vegetables are prepared, layer them in the order listed (using a glass bowl will show the beauty of the layering in this salad). Spread each layer out evenly, being careful to not mix them all.  In a separate bowl combine the miracle whip, sour cream, sugar, salt, season salt lemon juice and pepper.  Mix well.  Carefully spread this mixture over the top of the vegetable layers.  Sprinkle the layer of cheddar cheese on next.  Then top the salad off by sprinkling the crumbled bacon on top of it.  Close tightly and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
