- Serves:
-
10-12
ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 bunch broccoli, approximately the same amount of broccoli florets as cauliflower florets
- 1⁄2 cup chopped celery
- 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen tiny peas
- 1 lb thick sliced bacon
- 2 cups mayonnaise (I use Best Foods)
- 1⁄4 cup sugar or 1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese (the kind that comes pre-grated in the "can" at the grocery store)
- 1⁄2 cup finely chopped green onion, green and white parts
directions
- Cut bacon into cross-wise slices approximately 1/4 inch wide.
- Fry bacon just until crisp, remove from heat and drain.
- Set bacon aside (and don't let the cats get at it!).
- Cut cauliflower and broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces. (You can use the smaller broccoli stems, too, but not the big tough stems.).
- In a large bowl, mix cauliflower and broccoli with the chopped celery.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar and paramesan cheese to make the dressing.
- When ready to serve the salad, mix the dressing into the broccoli/cauliflower mixture.
- Add bacon and frozen peas and serve.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired grandma who loves to try new recipes. I also want to preserve some of our family's favorite recipes and some of the recipes I inherited from my Mother and Grandmother so my children will have them. I love to cook (but not everyday if I can help it) so I like to cook things that give us left-overs. Also, my hubby takes lunch to work five days a week, so I try to cook things that will heat-up in the microwave at his work. I love to knit, read, bird-watch, tinker in the garden and I am discovering old movies. I am quite fond of cats, and sometimes they appear in my recipes - but not as ingredients :-).<img img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpgsrc=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
