Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

I got this recipe from my sister in law Rachel and I could seriously eat this salad for lunch every day.  It's also a great way to get my kids eating broccoli and cauliflower.  I don't have exact amounts for the recipe, but I'll just put down what I use.  (By the way, I took this picture and believe me, the salad looks way better in real life.  How come the pictures on google images are so much better than mine?!)

BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER SALAD

1 head cauliflower, chopped

1 head (or is it a floret?) broccoli, chopped 

1/2 to 1 head lettuce (this is one of the only times I use iceberg)

1 1/2 cups Craisins

1-2 cups chow mein noodles

1 1/2 cups cubed cheese (I usually use cheddar, but you could use any kind)

Bacon (optional, but really the only way to get Garreth to eat a salad!)

Dressing:

1/3 cup each of sugar, mayo, and red wine vinegar, whisked
