SUNNY VEGETABLE SALAD

SUNNY VEGETABLE SALAD



Sunny Vegetable Salad image

This is hands-down my favorite recipe to make for any family dinner. Sunny vegetable salad is too good for words, you'll see when you make it. It does take a bit of work doing everything from scratch (particularly the broccoli and cauliflower), but I guarantee you'll run out every time because everyone goes for seconds. I posted this recipe as it originally was, but my family always makes it with 1/3 cup instead of a 1/2 cup sugar and it's just as good.
