Broccoli Cauliflower Salad
Description
Broccoli Cauliflower Salad features fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets paired with crunchy red onion, savory cooked bacon, and nutty slivered almonds. The combination adds layers of texture and flavor, balancing freshness with rich and salty elements. The dressing incorporates Dijon mustard or grainy mustard, lemon juice, honey, mayonnaise, and garlic powder, providing a creamy consistency with a bright and lightly sweet undertone.
The salad is prepared simply by whisking the dressing ingredients then tossing it with the prepared vegetables, bacon, and almonds, ensuring even coating. This salad functions well as a cold side dish suited to picnics, potlucks, or light meals and showcases a mix of crisp and creamy components.
It is best stored in the refrigerator in a covered container and can last up to four days. Stirring before serving helps redistribute the dressing as it settles.
