Veggie Chopped Salad

This is a little different from the other salads on my blog.  But equally delicious.  It makes a fairly large salad so it would be great to serve at a holiday or a summer get-together.

• 3 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli
• 3 cups finely chopped cauliflower
• 3 cups finely chopped celery
• 2 cups frozen peas (about 8 oz.), thawed
• 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
• 1 1/3 cups mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup salted peanuts

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients.  In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sugar, cheese, vinegar and salt until blended.  Add to salad and toss to coat.  Just before serving, stir in peanuts.  Refrigerate leftovers.

12 servings.
