   All families have traditions, and at every family get-together, this salad is one of ours. My sister-in-law brings a huge bowl, bags of veggies and this marvelous dressing that just makes the salad. It's made with fresh shredded Parmesan cheese. It's really easy, feeds a bunch and can be made to taste. Besides, bacon never hurts.

1/2 cup sugar
1-8 oz. pkg. shredded Parmesan cheese (more to taste)
Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate over night.
