BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD



Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad image

I love this recipe and was surprised to not find it on Recipezaar! What makes it so different is the red wine vinegar. It makes such a colorful presentation and is good all seasons of the year! The dish is alway cleaned before it leaves the table! Enjoy! Note about bacon: I use Hormel Real Crumbled Bacon from a bag to save on prep and it is just as good.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head cauliflower, chopped in small bite size pieces
2 bunches broccoli, chopped in small bite size pieces
1/2 of a red onion, finely chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup bacon, chopped
1 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
5 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • After rinsing well, combine chopped cauliflower and broccoli in large a bowl. Toss in onion, cheese and bacon pieces.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the mayo, sugar and red wine vinegar. Coat the dry ingredients well with the mayo mixture. Everything should be coated but not so much that the mixture becomes soupy.
  • All of the prep can be done ahead of time, but the mix is better when everything is crisp so don't toss together til close to time of serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crisp vegetables: Use broccoli and cauliflower florets that are firm and have a vibrant green color. Choose bacon that is thick-cut and has a good balance of fat and meat.
  • Cook the bacon perfectly: Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not burnt. This will add a smoky and savory flavor to the salad.
  • Roast the vegetables: Roasting the broccoli and cauliflower brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes their edges. Make sure to toss the vegetables in oil and seasonings before roasting to ensure even cooking and flavor.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is key to bringing all the flavors of the salad together. Use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and Dijon mustard for a creamy and tangy dressing.
  • Add crunch and texture: To add extra crunch and texture to the salad, incorporate chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy shallots. These additions will also add depth of flavor and visual appeal.

Conclusion:

This bacon, broccoli, and cauliflower salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. With its combination of smoky bacon, roasted vegetables, and creamy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at any gathering. It is also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.
