Ingredients

Dressing

1 cup (226 g) mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Salad

1 head broccoli chopped
1 head cauliflower chopped
½ small red onion diced
6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
½ cup (56 g) sunflower seeds
½ cup (80 g) dried cranberries

Instructions

In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, vinegar, dijon mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Whisk until combined.
Add broccoli, cauliflower, onion, bacon, sunflower seeds, and dried cranberries to the bowl and toss to coat in dressing.
Chill until ready to serve. Give your salad a toss just before serving in case any of the dressing has settled at the bottom of the bowl.

Notes

Make ahead: Prepare as directed above and store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. Salad is best served within 1 day for best flavor and texture.
If rinsing your vegetables beforehand, make sure they are completely dry before adding to the salad. Wet vegetables will water down the dressing and make it runny.
Leftover salad will keep for 3-4 days refrigerated in a sealed container.
