Best Broccoli Salad

Share

Serves: 6

What You’ll Need:
  • 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 bunch broccoli, cut into small florets (see Note)
  • 1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small florets (see Note)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (3-ounce) container real bacon bits

What To Do:

  1. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar; mix well. Add remaining ingredients; mix until well combined.
  2.  Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes:

  • Prefer your veggies a little on the softer side? We’ve got you covered. Just boil ’em in water for 1 minute, drain, and then top it with ice so it cools down quickly.
  • Make sure to cut the broccoli and cauliflower into very small florets.
  • This broccoli salad is even better if it’s made a few days in advance and allowed to marinate in the fridge.
  • If you’d like, feel free to mix in some raisins for sweetness or some sunflower seeds and chopped nuts for crunch. It’s an easy way to spice this one up!
