Enjoy a cool summer salad made with broccoli and cauliflower with a creamy dressing. So good with any BBQ or picnic.
I use to grow broccoli in my garden, but oh my, dealing with the worms was such a headache. I would bring in the broccoli heads and then soak them in salty water to kill all of them and then hope I didn’t find a dead one in my cooking. So, now I prefer to buy my broccoli and cauliflower at our neighborhood farmers market. So fresh!!
My mom would fix this so much during the summertime and when I use to go to her house for lunch while I worked close to them, it was always so good with a sandwich. I loved going to my parent’s home for lunch and visiting with my dad while we ate lunch and then walking next door to my mom’s beauty shop and visiting with all the lovely ladies she worked on. When I left for my new job in another town, I really missed those lunch hours with them.
INGREDIENTS
Salad
- 1 head of broccoli chopped fine
- 1 head of cauliflower chopped fine
- 1 jar of Real Bacon Bits
- 1 cup of cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion chopped
Dressing
- 1 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix all the salad ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together well all the dressing ingredients. Pour dressing over salad, mix well and let stand in the fridge till cool.
The recipe calls for bacon bits, but I have used bacon that I have cooked myself. It does seem to give it more flavor.

I love this salad!! I eat it whenever I see it, but have never made it myself!! Thanks!
This looks so good. I love side dishes like this which aren’t heated up. And they last a few days in the fridge too. I will have to try it. Take care and have a good week.
