Raw Veggie Picnic Salad - Becky's mom made it for Reece's 1 yr b-day party
6 slices bacon
4 cups broccoli florets
1 cup chopped celery
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas, thawed
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1 cup seedless green grapes
1 cup seedless red grapes
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons grated onion
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

Place bacon in a skillet over medium high-heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside. In a large bowl, toss together the bacon, broccoli, celery, peas, cranberries, green onions, green grapes, red grapes, and almonds. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, salt, vinegar, grated onion, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Pour dressing over the salad. Gently toss to coat.

I actually just used one type of grapes and stirred in the bacon right before serving, so the bacon was crispy.
