Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

I wanted to make a broccoli salad for dinner tonight but didn’t have quite enough broccoli so I decided to use cauliflower as well. It turned out great and was easy to do. I like to steam the cauliflower and broccoli for a few minutes. I still want them crisp but just like to take the edge off the “raw” ness a little bit. I added sweet pepper, bacon and shredded cheese. You can add other veggies, too. Sometimes I add chopped sweet onion or water chestnuts.  If you are looking for a different salad or a different way to serve cauliflower and broccoli I highly recommend this salad.

Cauliflower and Broccoli Salad

1 small head cauliflower, trimmed and broken into bite- sized pieces

2 broccoli crowns, cut into bite- sized pieces

1 sweet pepper, seeded and chopped

1 c. shredded cheese- I used a sharp cheddar

8- 10 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped

1/2 cup of mayo – or more according to your taste

salt and pepper to taste

Steam the cauliflower and broccoli until just tender/crisp. About 5 minutes in a microwave steamer, 6 minutes in a conventional steamer. Place in a bowl to cool down then combine with remaining ingredients and stir to combine well. Adjust seasonings, if needed. Serves 6-8.

Combine veggies in a large bowl.
