Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 ½ cups golden raisins
• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
• 1 (12 ounce) package bacon
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
• 6 cups cauliflower florets

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 2

Place bacon in a very large bowl with broccoli, cauliflower, almonds, raisins, Cheddar cheese, red onion, and celery.

Step 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.
