Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

This broccoli and cauliflower salad is one of those go-to recipes nice to have in your recipe collection. A great side dish to bring to any gathering or serve at your next BBQ. I love serving it with this Instant Pot BBQ Chicken.

This broccoli cauliflower salad recipe has few ingredients and can be made in approximately ten minutes. I recommend chopping the cauliflower and broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces so it will be easier to eat. I cooked my bacon in a skillet but use whatever method you prefer. Turkey bacon will also work well. You can even use bacon bits if you are short on time.

Broccoli cauliflower salad recipe tips:

• If you don’t have block cheese at home, don’t run to the store. Shredded cheese will also work.
• If making ahead of time, wait until you are ready to serve to mix in the dressing.
• Diced green onions, chopped nuts or even dried cranberries are good additional mix-ins.

How to make broccoli cauliflower salad:

When a recipe has cheese and bacon in the ingredients you know it has to be good!

• Mix crunchy broccoli florets, cauliflower, diced red onion in a bowl.
• For the sweet mayo dressing stir together mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar.
• Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Warning***The saltiness of the bacon combined with the sweetness of the dressing is addicting!!
