Ingredients:

Serving

2 1/2 cups broccoli, cut in bite size pieces
2 1/2 cups cauliflower, cut in bite size pieces
1 medium onion, cut in quarters and thin sliced
1 small fennel bulb, cut in half and thin sliced
1 cup kalamata olive, cut in half (i prefer kalamata, but black will work just fine , i wouldn'tsp suggest green olives)
6 slices bacon, diced and sauteed until crisp
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 tsp minced garlic ( more if you want , according to your taste)
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp fresh parsley
salt
pepper
parmesan cheese, fresh grated

Directions:

Dressing - In a small bowl, mix the milk, mayo, parmesan, lemon juice, worcestershire, parsley, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready for use.
Bacon - In a small sauce pan over medium heat, saute the bacon until crispy and brown. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Keep for later.
Vegetables - Bring a large pot of water to a medium rolling boil. Salt well. Add the broccoli and cook 3-4 minutes until slightly tender, not soft. We are just blanching them. Remove and immediately immerse to a bowl filled with ice water and ice cubes. You want to stop the cooking process and keep the bright green color. Remove after a minute or so and let drain on a paper towel lined plate.
Do the same for the cauliflower. Again, drain well.
Salad - Now I prefer this salad room temperature or even warm, but you can easily serve this chilled. You can warm up the vegetables right in the microwave for just a minute or so, or you them as soon as they are blanched, or even just served them chilled. Either way, they are all equally as good.
Finish - Just toss the broccoli, cauliflower, olives, fennel and onion in a medium size bowl, and mix to combine. Then add in a little dressing at a time until you reach the consistency you prefer. Some like it more creamy than others, so just add as much dressing as you like.
Serve - Just garnish with the bacon and you can also add fresh grated parmesan if you want.
ENJOY!
