Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

[Roxy]

This recipe is from a good friend. He passed away. He was a great friend and a great cook. I love this salad!

Broccoli Cauliflower Salad:

5 Cups Chopped Fine Broccoli

5 Cups Chopped Fine Cauliflower

2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, Cut In Cubes Or Shredded

2/3 Cup Chopped Fine Onions

1/2 Cup Sunflower Seeds

6 Strips Bacon, Fried Crisp

Dressing:

1 Cup Mayonnaise

1/2 Cup Sugar

2 T. Vinegar

Put all salad ingredients in a large bowl: reserve a little bacon and sunflower seeds.

Pour dressing over and mix together well.

Put reserved bacon and sunflower seeds on top.

Cover bowl; refrigerate.

I've done a salad very similar to these, many moons ago. Sunflower seeds is a nice touch. I'll have to revive this recipe!
thanks Roxy!

I generally keep raw sunflower seeds and will sauté them in the bacon grease, for an extra bacon kick, in this delicious salad.

Just for my taste, I'd probably roast the brocolli and cauliflower and onions. I prefer them cooked over raw. Then chop and proceed. Might need to increase amounts some to account for the volume lost to roasting. Otherwise looks good.
