Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli never tasted so good! Raw broccoli can be totally boring but when you toss it into a salad with cheese and bacon incredible things just happen! I’m a huge fan of coleslaw dressing type salads so I’ve always loved a good, classic Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad…but I’ve never liked the fact that most recipes out there call for 1 cup of full-fat mayonnaise! I mean I didn’t create this version to be low calorie but I just never feel like 1 cup of mayonnaise is necessary on anything. I swapped out a lot of that mayo for fat-free Greek yogurt and went with light mayonnaise instead. If you are looking to cut more calories you can cut back to 4 slices of bacon and reduce the amount of cheese a little and omit the sugar and you’ll still have a delicious salad!

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Dressing

• 3/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt

• 1/2 cup light mayonnaise

• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar

• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar

• 1/4 tsp salt , or more to taste

Salad

• 4 cups small diced broccoli florets

• 4 cups small diced cauliflower florets

• 8 oz bacon (about 8 slices), diced and sauteed until crisp and drained

• 1 1/4 cups small cubed Colby Jack cheese (6 oz)

• 1/2 cup chopped red onion , rinsed under water and drained (if it's a mild one you can add a little more)

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to use.

2. Add all salad ingredients to a salad bowl (I like to set aside about 1/4 of the bacon and red onion to sprinkle over the top at the end for more color, that's totally optional).
