Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets (about 7-1/2 cups)

1 medium bunch broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)

2 cups seedless red grapes

6 green onions with tops, sliced

2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 cups mayonnaise

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1/2 to 1 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

1 Combine the main salad ingredients

2 In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, broccoli, grapes, onions and mozzarella cheese.

3 Make the dressing

4 In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, sugar and vinegar. Pour this over the vegetable mixture, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours. Editor’s Tip: There are three versions of Parmesan cheese—grated in a can, grated fresh or a block you grate yourself—and all are fine. This cheese is also ideal for lactose-intolerant dieters, as it contains only 2% lactose.

5 Add the bacon

6 Just before serving, stir in the cooked and crumbled bacon.
