Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 0.5 cup (thinly sliced) red onion
- 4 slices (crumbled) cooked bacon
- 0.5 cup (crumbled) blue cheese
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
Prepare the broccoli and cauliflower by rinsing thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into small, bite-sized florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a separate medium bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, honey, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli, cauliflower, and red onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Fold in the crumbled bacon and blue cheese, distributing them evenly throughout the salad.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the top for a crunchy finish.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together for the best taste.
Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish or light meal!
