The Best Broccoli Cauliflower Salad Recipe (Quick and Easy!)
This Broccoli Cauliflower Salad recipe features tasty broccoli, creamy cauliflower, and crunchy bacon for a mouthwatering flavor you'll absolutely love!
First, we need to prepare the bacon. Broil it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for 5 minutes, then flip the bacon over and broil for an additional 2 minutes (see the full instructions in my perfect broiled bacon recipe).
Second, let's thoroughly wash all the vegetables and the sweet Meyer's lemon, then chop the raw broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Squeeze the entire lemon over the broccoli in a large bowl and set it aside to let it absorb (see instructions HERE).
Next, we'll chop the raw cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces also and put them in a large mixing bowl. Now, cube bacon into tiny pieces and add to cauliflower, then grate the cheddar cheese and add it as well.
After that, take the lemon-soaked broccoli and add it to the cauliflower bowl one handful at a time, letting the excess juice drain out of your hands as you do. Discard the remaining juice, then stir all the ingredients together until they're well mixed.
Finally, in a small bowl on the side, whisk the mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt together until thoroughly mixed and season with salt and pepper to taste, then pour it into the large mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients and mix it well.
Your delicious broccoli cauliflower salad is ready to serve!
