This vibrant cauliflower broccoli salad combines crunchy vegetables with crispy bacon and a creamy dressing for a deliciously refreshing dish.

Scale

1 head of cauliflower cut into florets

3 small heads of broccoli cut into florets (about four cups)

12 slices of bacon diced and cooked

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 small red onion diced

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Combine the cauliflower, broccoli, bacon, cheddar cheese, sunflower seeds, and red onion in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the dressing over the other ingredients and toss to combine.

Note that the broccoli and cauliflower are eaten raw in this recipe. The dressing softens them just a little and the result is delicious.
