     1/4  cup           reduced-fat real bacon bits
     1/2  cup           shredded Cheddar cheese or other

                        Italian

In a small colander or strainer, rinse peas and set aside to drain. 
Wash, dry and tear lettuce and set aside. As you prepare the carrots,
 celery, pepper and turkey, place each on a separate paper plate or in
 a small bowl. Slice the carrots into thin circles. Wash and coarsely 
dice celery. Seed pepper; slice it into thin strips. Slice turkey into long, thin strips.
 To compose the salads, place 2 1/2 cups lettuce on each plate.
 Allow each diner to add salad toppings as desired. 
Top with 1/4 cup dressing; serve at once. Yield: 4 servings.
