Lettuce Cashew Salad

One of my aunt's brought this salad to Thanksgiving dinner a couple years ago. It is delicious. The only problem with it is that you pretty much have to eat it right when you make it. So I take it to just about any potluck or family get together we go to. And I usually fill up on it since I don't get it very often. Everyone who has tried it has also loved it and I've had several requests for the recipe.

1 head lettuce, cut in bite size pieces (I typically use Romaine lettuce)
1 head cauliflower, cut in bite size pieces
2 c. seasoned croutons
2 c. cashews
2 c. cheddar cheese, shredded

Dressing:
1 c. Mayonaise (I usually use light)
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. parmesan cheese

Mix dressing together in small bowl. Toss salad ingredients together in large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat all pieces just before serving.
