Place a layer of crisp lettuce in small chunks in a large wooden bowl. Spoon over the mayonnaise and spread thinly. Add a layer of sliced onions. Sprinkle onions lightly with sugar. Add a layer of cooked, chilled peas and a layer of Swiss cheese cut into julienne strips and bacon. Repeat layers until you have the quantity desired. Use no salt or pepper and do not toss. Refrigerate 1 1/2 - 2 hours, no more. Great with chopped celery, water chestnuts, green peppers also.
