 4 cups broccoli, cut up
 1 medium red onion, sliced into rings
 1 6oz. box button mushrooms, sliced
  cup mozzarella cheese, cubed (or extra firm tofu cubed)
  cup Bac-O's (or crumbled crisp bacon optional)
 Italian salad dressing (for marinade)
Dressing
 ¼ cup granulated sugar

Use only the flower parts of the broccoli and quarter them into small bite sizes. Slice the red onion with that State Fair slicer into separated rings about ¼" thick. Rinse the mushrooms, dry and mix with broccoli and onion rings. Make the dressing and spoon it over the mix of broccoli, mushrooms and red onion. Be gentle. Pour just enough to lightly coat the veggies. Pour excess Italian dressing off the mozzarella cheese. Add cheese and Bac-O's to salad and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately. Do not add dressing ahead of time.
