Ingredients
- 3 cups Broccoli florets

- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

Directions
Step 1
Wash the broccoli and cauliflower florets under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble into small pieces.

Add the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and finely chopped red onion to the bowl with the broccoli and cauliflower.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together mayonnaise, sour cream, granulated sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Step 7
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled and enjoy!
