Ingredients
•
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
•
6 cups broccoli florets
•
6 cups cauliflower florets
•
2 cups slivered almonds
•
1 1/2 cups golden raisins
•
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
•
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
•
2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1/4 cup lemon juice
Directions
1
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels until cool enough to handle, then chop into small pieces.
2
Place bacon in a very large bowl with broccoli, cauliflower, almonds, raisins, Cheddar cheese, red onion, and celery.
3
Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl until creamy. Pour over broccoli-cauliflower mixture; stir until well combined. Refrigerate until flavors have melded, at least 30 minutes.
