1 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
3/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons white or garlic vinegar (see note)

directions

Cut broccoli and cauliflower florets into bite-size pieces. In large bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, onion and bacon. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Add grated cheese to the broccoli mixture and toss with dressing just before serving.

cook's notes

To make garlic vinegar, separate and peel the cloves from one head of garlic and put them in a 24-ounce bottle of white vinegar. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavor infuse.

I wasn't going to take the time to do the garlic vinegar but I was glad I did. I think it really added a lot to the recipe. It's all very easy to put together and everyone liked it. I think it would also work with a combo of mayo and sour cream.
