Broccoli Cauliflower Salad is packed with veggies, bacon, onions, sunflower seeds and other delicious ingredients all tossed in an easy, creamy homemade dressing!
Whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, parmesan cheese, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper in a very large bowl.
To the bowl, add the broccoli, cauliflower, cooked bacon, cheddar cheese cubes, sunflower seeds, and red onion.
Toss well so all the ingredients are coated in the dressing.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Give it a good stir again, then serve.

Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
If you’re in a pinch, you can serve the salad right away but I find chilling it for at least an hour helps the flavors combine and it’s best when cold.
The dressing will pool at the bottom of the dish as it sits so I always give it a good stir before enjoying another portion.
If you wanted to add another sweet element, raisins or cranberries would go very well in this.
I would also use white cheddar, provolone or mozzarella.
Keeps in the fridge for up to 1 week, but the longer it sits the soggier the bacon gets, so if you don’t like that idea, I would keep the bacon on the side and just add it to each portion as it is served.
