Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad.

I've had many of broccoli-cauliflower salad in my life, but my favorite ones have been from deli cases that don't share recipes.  Fast forward to the end of June when I came across one on the internet that looked pretty promising.  I did a screen shot of the recipe and sent it my husband with the subject YUM.

I tried it and fell in love.  And then it sat in the fridge overnight and it was even better.  YUM.



Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad.
(Recipe Adapted by Holly)

1 1/2 heads broccoli (cut into bite size pieces)
1/2 head cauliflower (cut into bite size pieces)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 package bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1 cup shredded cheese

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar.  Pour over broccoli/cauliflower mix.  Stir to coat.  Add bacon and stir again.  Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.  Stir in cheese just before serving.

If you are wondering what size package for the bacon: it's bacon; the bigger the better!  :)  For real though, I made this a couple times already and have used as much as half pound to as little as a few ounces.  How much do you like bacon?  :)

That's it!  It's simple and so good.  I've never been a mayonnaise person, but I'm telling you it is worth it for this recipe.
