cut up cauliflower florets
chopped up red onion to taste
green peas (as many as you like I usually do about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup)
cut up bacon
parmesean cheese
mayo ( I use the lowest carb one I can find)
Truvia or any other natural sweetner

Place the broccoli, cauliflower, thawed peas, red onion and bacon in a large bowl.
To make the dressing put about a cup of mayo in a small bowl and add enough of the Truvia until just sweet. Mix together until creamy and not grainy in texture. Add the dressing to the salad ingredients and mix together and chill for about an hour. Top with parmesean cheese when ready to serve..

I think this is delicious even the next day.
Jeani, that sounds delicious! Onions are fairly high in carbs (most vegetables grown under ground share this tendency) but as long as you use small amounts it doesn't add up to that much. I reduce the amounts in most recipes now, and haven't noticed much of a change in taste as a little onion goes a long way! I mean, giving up onions just is not possible!
