Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli cauliflower salad is chock full of colorful, crunchy goodness.

Broccoli, cauliflower florets, crunchy bacon, and almonds are tossed in a zesty homemade dressing for the perfect side salad.

Ingredients

Broccoli and Cauliflower: Cut pieces into bite-sized pieces so there’s a little bit of everything in each tasty bite! The vegetables do not need to be cooked for this recipe.

Bacon: Bacon adds a smoky salty flavor. Diced ham can be added in it’s place.

Almonds: Slivered almonds add a nutty crunch. Replace them with other nuts like pecans or even sunflower seeds.

Dressing: The dressing for this salad is a homemade creamy mayo-based honey mustard dressing. You can also use a store-bought dressing, try honey mustard, or coleslaw dressing.

Favorite Variations

• Add a little extra crunch by toasting nuts in a dry pan just until lightly fragrant. This makes them extra crunchy (and intensifies their flavor!)
• Dress up this dish with raisins or dried cranberries.
• For some tang, add a splash of red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice to the dressing.
• Shredded or diced cheddar cheese, Colby jack, or mozzarella can be added.

Tips for Storing Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

• Prep the salad dressing and ingredients separately up to a day early and keep chilled. Toss the salad with the dressing just before serving.
• Save some crumbled bacon and garnish the top with it before serving.
• Broccoli cauliflower salad tastes even better the next day when the flavors have more time to blend! Keep it covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and stir before serving.
