Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Oh my goodness! I absolutely LOVE this salad!! It's got everything going for it ~ broccoli, cauliflower, cheese, bacon, a little onion, some ranch dressing and cheese! Mmmm ...

I found my sister Theresa's old recipe and revised it slightly. So very good!! I made a big bowlful hoping to take leftovers to work and guess what? There were no leftovers. Drat!

Cook your bacon anyway you like. I like to bake mine layered on a piece of foil in a cake pan for easy clean up.

While the bacon is baking, I clean the broccoli and cauliflower and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Then I add the cheese.

Prepare the dressing and set aside. Chop an onion in a food processor ...

And add one to two tablespoons to the prepared dressing.

When the bacon is fully cooked, blot them with paper towels to remove the excess grease.

If you have a kitchen scissor, cut the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Otherwise, just break them up with your fingers.

Add the dressing and thoroughly mix everything together until it is well coated. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
