Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

Though I don't care for the summer's heat, I love the summer's bounty - especially when the harvest is piled up all over my kitchen counters.

Lots of good stuff flowing from the garden to the kitchen this week:

* A batch of Raspberry Pudding
* A breakfast loaf of Blueberry Orange Bread
* Two Raspberry Pies with Whipped Cream that we've been eating as a bedtime snack
* And a double recipe of Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad which you'll find below

The refrigerator is groaning . . .

Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

Combine the following:
1 lb. fresh cauliflower, cleaned and cut into small pieces
1 lb. fresh broccoli, cleaned and cut into small pieces
1/2 lb. bacon, cooked and chopped
2 C. cheddar cheese
1/2 red onion, chopped (or a white onion in a pinch)

For the dressing, mix the following and add to the first mixture:
1/2 C. sugar
1 C. mayo
2 tabl. cider vinegar (can substitute white vinegar)

It's best if you make this ahead and allow to marinate overnight.
