I haven't posted this in a year or two. Tis a little expensive to make but sooooo good... great for any barbecues, picnics, etc.

Carl's Favorite Summer Salad (cfss)

Ingredients: 1 head lettuce
1 head cauliflower
1 head broccoli
1 large red onion
6 oz Swiss cheese (grated)
6 oz cheddar cheese (grated)
1 lb bacon
Parmesan cheese (½ cup?)
Dressing: 1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing (original recipe)
2 cups mayonnaise
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup milk

Shred and mix the garden vegetables into a LARGE container. Cook and crumble the bacon along with the cheeses over the top of the vegetables. Make the dressing and pour over the top (do not mix); sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and refrigerate (12-24 hours?). This step is NOT necessary, except for "ahead" preparation.

Just before serving, mix all the ingredients with large spoon or by hand.
