This Broccoli and cauliflower salad is a perfect choice among your other Thanksgiving side dishes. It can be made well in advance, travels easy and if you end up with leftovers (which is unlikely) it can easily be stored for a later meal.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (300g) of broccoli
- 1 small head (200g) of cauliflower
- 1/2 of a red onion , finely chopped (approximately 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 cup (40g) dried cranberries
- 4-5 bacon slices , cooked and crumbled
- 1/4 cup (60g) mayonnaise

- 1 tbsp (15g) sugar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
- To cook the bacon preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place bacon strips on it. Bake until bacon is crispy for about 15-20 minutes. Transfer bacon on paper towels to remove the excess fat. Crumble it up in small pieces and reserve for later use.
- Separate broccoli and cauliflower florets in bite size pieces, add to a large bowl and add red onion, dried cranberries, bacon crumbles and sliced almonds.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Make the salad dressing. In a small pitcher combine mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard , sugar, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust based on desired acidity.
- Toss broccoli with salad dressing.
- Right before serving top with more bacon crumbles and almonds.
