Thank you to my sissy for telling me this is a recipe to share... I promise its YUMMY and great for a crowd (or for a first date!) I made this for my husband the first time I ever cooked for him almost 4 years ago. He looked at it and I asked him if he had ever had it before and he said yes, it's just like my Momma used to make (his mother had passed away 2 years before). Needless to say, when he tasted it (after putting a conservative portion on his plate) he went back for more- he just didn't want to tell me that he had never had it before. It is one of our favorites and is something that I usually take to family/friend gatherings (simply because I can make it a day ahead of time and with all of the pretty colors in it- it's a STUNNING side dish! I like it so much better than any I can buy premade or get in a resturant! The dressing itself is awesome on salads or to make a sweet cole-slaw with as well!- 3 broccoli crowns, cut into small pieces
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into small pieces
- 1 bag bacon bits (or fresh fried bacon)
- 1 cup raisins (purple)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 red onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper
- chopped1 bag Colby-montery jack cheese, shredded
Dressing:
- 1 c. mayo
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 2 tbsp. cider vinegar
mix dressing before mixing in with the rest of the salad, the longer it sets - the better it gets.(ideally, 1 day ahead of time)
