Pizza crust made of eggplant is a fantastic substitute. I make them on average once a week because I have so much eggplant in my yard! Get your kids to eat their vegetables in a fun way. I advise include peppers, mushrooms, and pepperoni.

Ingredients
- 2 cups mayonnaise (such as Hellmann’s®)
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- 3 dashes hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s® RedHot), or more to taste
- 1 pound bacon
- 12 cups fresh broccoli florets, or more to taste
- 3 cups fruit and nut trail mix
- ½ large red onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
Instructions
- Mix together mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and hot sauce in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside to allow sugar to dissolve into dressing.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Crumble.
- Combine crumbled bacon, broccoli, trail mix, and red onion in a large serving bowl. Add dressing and toss thoroughly.
- You should use about 4 large heads of broccoli for this salad. You can freeze the stalks to use in soups and stocks.
- You can use whatever combination of dried fruit and nuts you like instead of trail mix.
