Yield: 8 servings

Description

Spring greens are tossed with carrot and cauliflower, then covered in a sweet creamy Parmesan dressing. The salad that initiated a year-long quest to duplicate the recipe! When I threw yet another attempt at the dressing in the fridge overnight, I hit on the secret ingredient. A huge hit with guests!

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 (10 ounce) package spring lettuce mix
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup small cauliflower florets
1/2 cup bacon bits

Directions

1 In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and sugar until well blended. Cover, and refrigerate overnight. Stir again just before using.
2 In a large serving bowl, combine the lettuce, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, carrot, cauliflower, and bacon bits. Toss with chilled dressing just before serving.
