Meeting Place

This delightful salad with my own tweaks
lends itself to some wonderful ideas for variations, so be sure to check them
out at the bottom of the recipe! This recipe will definitely feed a crowd. The Smoked

Note: If you prefer, you can blanch the vegetables in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes to take the edge off the crunchiness (especially for the cauliflower (that's why I suggest cutting it real small). Then drain the vegetables well in a colander over a bowl.

In
large salad bowl or trifle bowl, combine broccoli, cauliflower, bacon and 1

cups (375 mL) Smoked Gouda or Cheddar
cheese. In medium bowl, combine
mayonnaise, sour cream, liquid sweetener and salt. Stir the creamy mixture into the broccoli
salad. Sprinkle the remaining cheese
over the top. Cover the salad bowl with
plastic wrap and chill before serving.

Variations:

Leave out the
cauliflower and use only broccoli. Add
some chopped or sliced red onions.
Replace the cauliflower with diced cooked chicken. Maybe add in some chopped, hard boiled
eggs.

, however, unless I've personally tested it, I won't mark it gluten-free. Typically, the recipes should work just fine; be sure to follow the instructions for the bake mix carefully. I am interested in providing gluten-free recipes as there are an extraordinary number of low-carbers who are intolerant of wheat and gluten. This makes them crave those very substances!

my preferred choice of sweeteners, but please feel free to use your own choice of sweeteners. I tend to give the equivalent nowadays to make it easier for you to substitute your preferred sweetener. Make sure they are heat stable. Never bake with aspartame!
