Thanks, Colleen, for this great recipe. I also made a few tweeks: I used less egg, subbed Splenda for the sugar, added some diced red pepper for color and some chopped red onion. And, I mixed it all together. We loved it, and I'm sure I will make it again and again.

I love this salad in all of its myriad forms. I have NEVER used any sweetener in the dressing: only mayonnaise and sometimes a little balsamic vinegar. AND the veggies can be cooked slightly (very slightly parboiled) for those who cannot digest raw food well--be sure they are still crunchy. I like adding boiled eggs and the bacon is essential. You can also add chopped onion, celery, bell pepper for extra crunch/flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add some cayenne if you like it spicy. Everyone loves it, even those who say they don't like broccoli or cauliflower.

Wanted something different than the same old steamed broccoli and cauliflower. This salad was excellent. We had it Christmas dinner and we all enjoyed it. I made it a little healthier by using light mayo and splenda. A delicious alternative to the traditional holiday fare.

I want to give this recipe a 5 star but I can't. I made this for a dinner party and it didn't go over very well. It was avoided like the plague. And the only person I saw that ate this and like it was my middle child. So tried it and realized...man it was too sweet tasting but was a sweet mayo flavor. Was not good. So the only thing I could think of that would numb the sweetness without over salting or over peppering was celery salt. It seemed to do the trick after a few shakes here and there and tasting and re-shakng some more. until it was mellowed. I'd say the veggies and bacon were fresh and light. But the dressing really didn't do them justice. Sorry. My advice, cut the sugar down or add more vinegar.

Thanks Colleen. It was good. I didn't use all the dressing but really it's not your fault there was "too much", it's purely preferance. So don't blame her! I hope everyone enjoys it.
