Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad

This is great as a summertime pot luck dish!

2 heads of broccoli (cut into very small pcs.)
2 heads of cauliflower (cut into very small pcs.)
1 lb. bacon (don't use bacon in a jar....ie: Bacos or imitation bacon bits)
1/2-3/4 lb. provolone cheese (cubed very small)
1/2-1 c. sunflowers seeds
2 c. mayo (use the good stuff, it's worth it)
1 c. sugar
4 T. Red Wine Vinegar (again, use the good stuff)

Fry bacon till crunchy. Drain and let cool. Crumble into tiny bits. In a very large bowl (I use my soup pot to stir all this and then place in bowl when stirred) combine broccoli, cauliflower, bacon, provolone, and sunflower seeds.

In a seperate small bowl combine mayo, sugar and red wine vinegar. Stir till smooth and pour over veggie mixture. Stir till everything is coated well and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to combine the flavors. Before serving, stir well again. Excellent side dish if you like raw veggies.
