I like every thing about this recipe except the texture of the veggies after being blanched. The flavors are really good together. I will try it again with raw veggies. Thanks for posting. -
This is soooo delicious, D. Added more veggies ((green, red peppers, yellow squash, capers), since I had them from another recipe--(didn't blanch, tho); followed the recipe otherwise. Lots of crunchiness--love it! Great summer-time salad! -
Simple salad that's easy to whip up and very economical too! I used cheddar cheese shreds, some leftover bacon and Miracle Whip Light. I was glad that I blanched the veggies - I think that is a very good idea as it softens the broccoli and cauliflower just a tiny bit, thanks for including the instructions on how to do it. Made for Zaar Stars tag game. -
I used large head of broc and caul. Smart Balance in place of Miracle whip we are not a fan of it, adding Harvest coarse ground dijon to it. I also used real bacon using Recipe #107440 to cook it. Thanks for the good eats! -
This was great! I didn't think I would like it as much as an old recipe I had but it was even better! I did as one reviewer suggested and added some crumbled fried bacon (after one serving made exactly as directed). Both ways were absolutely great. Thanks for a great recipe!! Made for AU recipe swap 08.

Everyone seems to have a similar version of this salad, and I love them all! This one is nice becasue the Dijon mustard gives it a little something extra. I used mayonnaise instead of MW, so I added a bit of sugar and vinegar to the mayo. A keeper recipe! Thanx!
