Description

A delightful and crunchy salad that perfectly balances savory flavors with creamy dressing, perfect for potlucks and family gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (or use turkey bacon for a lighter option)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite cheese)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
  2. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli mixture and toss until thoroughly coated.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider blanching the broccoli and cauliflower for just a minute before cooling them in ice water. Customize your cheese and consider using Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
