15-Minute Broccoli Cauliflower Salad
Description
This salad features bite-sized pieces of broccoli and cauliflower, which provide a crisp base. Chopped bacon adds a savory, smoky crunch complemented by bursts of sweetness from halved cherry tomatoes and a mild sharpness from finely diced purple onion. Roasted sunflower seeds contribute nuttiness and additional texture to the mix.
The dressing blends mayonnaise with lemon juice, dried parsley, and black pepper, lending a citrusy tang and herby notes while binding the ingredients lightly. Tossing the salad just before serving keeps the vegetables crisp and fresh, preserving their natural bite alongside the creamy dressing.
It's suited as a quick side for lunches or dinners where a cold, crunchy vegetable dish offsets rich or heavier main courses. The 15-minute build time suits busy cooks who want a flavorful, fresh salad without complex steps or cooking.
