Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

 I have read many different versions of this recipe. This is my way of making it.

1/2 head raw cauliflower

1/2 bunch raw broccoli

1 small red oinon diced

1 cup shredded carrot

 

I/2 pound bacon cooked and crumbled

Salt and pepper to taste

Hidden Valley Rance Dressing 

 

Mix all the ingredients together the day before serving. It really does need to sit overnight for the correct flavor.

Sometimes I add chopped chicken and or shredded chedar cheese to this salad. Makes a very good meal.
