Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

 

 

I am sure there are 100 versions to this recipe but I will admit that this seems to be my go to salad when I need to feed a crowd.  It is easy to make ahead and you can adjust the size of the salad based on how many people you need to feed.  I made this one big since it was coming with us to an FBLA Banquet.  I first had this years ago at a church activity.  I have added a little bit of my  own taste adjustment and have been using it ever since!

 

Chop 2 heads of Broccoli

 

Chop 2 heads of Cauliflower

Broccoli and Cauliflower should be about equal amounts.

Take the seeds out of 4 Roma tomatoes

 



 

Dice the tomatoes

 

Chop 6 boiled eggs

I boiled them the day before so they were ready to go.

 

Chop 1 bunch of green onion

 

Chop 1 pkg pre cooked Bacon

You can cook it up fresh if you want

 

Add one can sliced water chestnuts

I quarter my chestnut slices before adding them

 

Stir it up and put a lid on it.  You don't want to add

the dressing until you are ready to serve the salad.

 

 

Dressing is:

1 C. Mayo

(DO NOT use Miracle Whip)

1/3 C. Sugar

2T. White Vinegar

 

Mix in a small bowl or container and pour over

salad right before serving.

 

This is so delicious!

I hope you give it a try!
