Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

What you need:
5 cups of broccoli pieces (small bite size without stems)
5 cups cauliflower pieces (small bite size without stems)
2/3 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup bacon bits
1/4 cup salted roasted sunflower seeds
1/3 cup craisins or white raisins
1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional, I didn't put it in the recipe shown in picture)
For dressing:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/2 cup white sugar (you can use Splenda for low fat version)

What to do:
1. Wash Broccoli and Cauliflower and cut into small bite size pieces (without stems).
This is the most time consuming part of this recipe, but hang in there it's worth it in the end.
2. Dice red onion.
3. In large bowl combine; broccoli, cauliflower, red onion, bacon bits, sunflower seeds and craisins.
4. In separate container with air tight lid, combine Mayo, red wine vinegar and sugar.
These ingredients make the salad dressing.  When lid is securely on shake well so that all
ingredients mix well to a creamy consistency. 

This salad is one we've been making for years.  It is fresh, crispy and has a delicious
sweet flavor.  You'll probably want seconds, its that good.  Enjoy!
