Broccoli Cauliflower Salad
















This is always a hit at our various family occassions/parties. This broccoli cauliflower salad is my mom's signature salad she brings to potlucks or gatherings and has been asked for the recipe several times. Try this!
*This is a great salad to assemble the night before and just add the last 3 ingredients just before serving!
Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli, cut
1 head cauliflower, pieces
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 lb bacon, crumbled (can use turkey bacon if desired)
1 c shredded cheese
small can sliced olives
sliced mushrooms
8 oz light mayo

1/2 c sugar
4-5 T vinegar
Directions:
1. Fry bacon and cut into pieces.
2. Combine first 7 ingredients in large serving bowl.
3. Mix last 3 ingredients and add to salad just before serving.

  1. Looks like something my children would love. Oddly enough they are huge fans of veggies. Their two faves being broccoli and spinach.

    Thanks for sharing!

  2. I'm thinking they might because it has a sweet taste to the salad, but not super mayonaisey:) That is pretty unique to have young veggie-lovers..Good for you! :)
