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.

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.
