Cauliflower Broccoli Salad with Apricots

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets then sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 2 c. cheddar cheese
  • 1 lb.bacon fried crisp and crumbled, save drippings
  • 1/3 c. toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds
  • 1-6 oz. pkg. chopped dried apricots
  • 4 dried figs sliced thin
  • 8-10 radishes sliced thin, optional
  • Dressing:
  • 1/2 c. sugar or Splenda I used a little less than 1/2 cup
  • 1 c. mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 -2 Tbsp. reserved bacon fat

Instructions

  1. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Do the same with the cauliflower but then slice into thin slices. Put the broccoli, cauliflower, green onions,  bacon, apricots, figs, nuts and radishes if you are using them. Toss lightly to mix together.
  2. For the dressing mix the mayonnaise, cider and red wine vinegars and the bacon fat. Stir in the sugar or Splenda until thoroughly blended. Add the dressing to the salad ingredients and mix until everything is coated.  (I would wait until about an hour before serving to add the dressing.)
