• 1 package bacon , 12 ounce
• 6 cups broccoli florets
• 6 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 cups slivered almonds
• 1.5 cups golden raisins
• 1 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 medium red onion , finely chopped
• 2 stalks celery , finely chopped

Instructions

1. 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.

2. 2

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

   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.
