Wash the broccoli and cauliflower florets thoroughly and pat dry with a paper towel.
Chop the broccoli and cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red onion finely and add it to the bowl with the broccoli and cauliflower.
Add the raisins, sunflower seeds, and crumbled cooked bacon to the mixing bowl. Stir gently to combine all the salad ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Whisk together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well blended.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the salad bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad one final toss. Serve chilled and enjoy!
