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

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the broccoli and cauliflower by rinsing thoroughly under cold water. Cut them into small, bite-sized florets.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the broccoli, cauliflower, and red onion mixture. Toss gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 5

Fold in the crumbled bacon and blue cheese, distributing them evenly throughout the salad.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the top for a crunchy finish.

Step 7

Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together for the best taste.

Step 8

Serve chilled and enjoy as a side dish or light meal!
