I like a version of this with raisins in place of grapes. It is so
good -- crunchy, chewy, sweet, salty.

Sounds like a cousin to my Grandma's cold pea salad.......can of cold
sweet peas (the tiny kind), diced sweet onion and celery, small cubes
of sharp cheddar, dressed with mayo, sugar, and a bit of vinegar.
Sometimes she added bacon, sometimes there was brtoccoli in it. Never
tried it with califlower, adn nos weet element. I wonder if the
califlower wqould be good blanched, to soften it a little? half
blanched cauliflower and half blanched broccoli, perhaps?

I NEVER use more than a tablespoon or two of sugar in this, even though
the recipe calls for some obscene amount. It is a great salad, always
well enjoyed.
