Instructions

Step 1

The dressing can be mixed up to 2 days in advance. In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise, sugar, and cider vinegar together.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli and cauliflower florets into fine bite size pieces avoiding most of the thick stems. Try to do them as close to uniform size so the salad is aesthetically pleasing.

Step 3

Cook the bacon until crispy so it holds up well in the salad. Can cook in the oven in a single layer on an old baking sheet. Cook at 375 for about 14-15 minutes flipping halfway through. In a large bowl combine the broccoli and cauliflower florets, sliced almonds, red onion, cheddar, and chopped bacon.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the top and stir to coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
