I was born and raised in Southern Indiana where there are a lot of Amish people. They are wonderful people and I loved eating at the Amish Restaurants. They are wonderful cooks.

1 head broccoli, chopped
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ pound bacon, fried and crumbled
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Combine the chopped broccoli and cauliflower in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, and salt to make a creamy dressing.

Add the dressing to the broccoli–cauliflower mix, stirring to evenly coat the vegetables.

Stir in the bacon and the cheese, reserving a small amount to sprinkle on top before serving.
