Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad

I received this recipe from a lady in our church that catered my brother and sister-in-law's wedding.  It is delicious!  When making this recipe, make sure that you prepare it 24 hours in advance.

1 head broccoli, cut into pieces, peel and slice the stem
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into pieces
1/4 cup chopped red onion (more or less to your taste)
12 slices bacon, fried and broken into pieces
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
 
Dressing:
1 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup sugar
2 TBS lemon juice

Mix the first seven ingredients together in a large bowl.

Combine the dressing ingredients and add to the vegetables.  Toss to mix.

Chill for 24 hours before serving.
