A crunchy, creamy, and flavorful salad that’s perfect for potlucks, picnics, or a healthy side dish. With raw broccoli and cauliflower, tangy dressing, and savory mix-ins, it’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.
1 medium head broccoli, chopped into small florets
1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
½ cup red onion, finely diced
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sunflower seeds (optional)
½ cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
You can substitute part of the mayo with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Omit bacon and cheese for a vegan-friendly salad, and use vegan mayo and maple syrup in place of honey.
This salad keeps well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
