Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups cauliflower florets chopped
  • 1 cup corn kernels fresh, canned, or thawed if frozen
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded (optional)

For the Creamy Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Steam the broccoli and cauliflower florets until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and ensure they remain crisp.

Cook the Bacon:

  • In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels, then crumble or chop into small pieces.

Make the Creamy Dressing:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Combine the Salad:

  • In a large bowl, combine the steamed broccoli and cauliflower, corn kernels, crumbled bacon, red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese, if using.
  • Pour the creamy dressing over the salad and toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

Chill and Serve:

  • Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve chilled, with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
