I follow a mostly meatless diet, plus I have food allergies to cheese and eggs. This leaves me almost vegan. I am going to make this with vegan mayo, tofu sour cream (homemaid; store bought has hydrogenated oil) and either veggie canadian bacon or organic "bacon" bits. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I have some fresh broccoli in the fridge waiting to be transformed:)

I just served this for a goody day at work. Everyone loved it! I left out the water chestnuts just because I didn't have any, and I used Splenda instead of sugar. AND it was filling, so I didn't eat TOO much of the other junk. jtengland

Great salad!! If anyone is worried about the fat and calories in the bacon try Hornell fully cooked bacon. They sell it at Costco. Very good choice. Only 80 calories per 2 strips and not loaded with sodium. Great recipe!!
