Name: Veggie Chopped Salad
Prep time: 25 min
Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 3 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli; 3 cups finely chopped cauliflower; 3 cups finely chopped celery; 2 cups frozen peas (about 8 ounces), thawed; 6 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled; 1-1/3 cups mayonnaise; 1/4 cup sugar; 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese; 1 tablespoon cider vinegar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 3/4 cup salted peanuts

My husband's aunt gave me this recipe back in the '80s, and it's been a staple at our house ever since. I like to make it a day ahead because some time in the fridge makes it even better. Be sure to save yourself some leftovers, too. &mdash;Madeline Etzkorn, Burien, Washington

Fantastic Salad!  Easy to put together and tastes great.  I ate it for lunch as a meal.  I will definitely make this one again.

Delicious! I used Morning Star Veggie Bacon Strips instead of bacon strips.  I served it with shrimp spring rolls and sweet chili sauce.  Thank you, Madeline, for sharing this recipe.

I didn't have any peanuts and so omitted them, but the salad was still delicious.

Delicious!  I add some red, green or orange peppers.  It adds some color to the salad.  Make sure the veggies are fresh.

Great recipe! I didn't change or make any additions. Please post more.

I have been making a recipe close to this for many years adding red bell pepper, shredded carrots, craisins, shredded cheese and salted sunflower seeds.  Delicious!

Salad was delicious!  Kept the bacon out separate in a bowl. Added red peppers and red onion. You really can add your favorite veggies.  The dressing is so good with this salad!  So versatile !!  Won't disappoint !  Didn't have the peanuts but nobody missed them.

You can't go wrong with broccoli salad. Or Chopped salad. Together as one, perfect!! (I did miss the shredded cheddar that I usually put in my broccoli salad though.)

Very good!! I thought the addition of peanuts would be awful but I was wrong. Wen I make it again, I think I will add some shredded cheddar for color to brighten it up a bit.

Followed the recipe, took it to a church potluck and it was enjoyed by all. I'll definitely be making this again.

It is a very good salad, but much too high in fat, sugar and cholesterol for my healthy family.  I made it with a lesser amount of low fat mayo, Stevia rather than sugar and toasted sliced almonds.  Much lighter and healthier, and still very tasty!

Really good.  BTW, the mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar is the dressing I have always used on my cole slaw using equal parts sugar and vinegar.

Thanks to Madeline for a most delectable salad.  I served this at an Easter buffet luncheon and received nothing but raves.  It was a simple salad to assemble and the combination of vegetables, bacon, and dressing was a winner.  I upped my bacon strips to eight and added 1/3 cup of coarsely grated sharp cheddar cheese (for color mostly).  Otherwise, I made no changes.

I made this yesterday for our ladies get-together/supper and it was BLAH!  I followed the recipe to a T.  Really thought it was going to be great with all the great ratings but for me, it was not.  Won't make this one again.

Found this recipe 5 months ago and have made it at least 6 times. Followed recipe as is. I get multiple requests for the recipe every time.

Love chopped salads but this was a little bland. I upped the vinegar and sugar and that helped. We liked the crunch and the peanuts, but will play a little more with the seasoning to bring the flavor up.

Love this salad and always make it for crowds.  Crunchy and delicious!!

This was a great salad, and easy to make.  We enjoyed it but felt it was missing something.  As posted, this recipe needs just a bit of tweaking.....I will try again and tweak it.
