A twelve-hour stint in the refrigerator makes all the difference in this crowd-pleasing layered salad. The mayonnaise dressing that 's spread over the top trickles down, and all the flavors come together.

- 1 head lettuce, torn into small pieces
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed

- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 cups mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons white sugar
