    Remove and set aside to cool before chopping into bite site pieces.

    In a large mixing bowl, add the cauliflower, broccoli, cheese, red onion, sunflower seeds and bacon.

    Tip: If you don't have sunflower seeds, you could use pine nuts, walnuts or slivered almonds instead. Just be sure to toast them before adding them in.

    How Long Does Broccoli Salad Last in the Fridge?

    When stored properly it should stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Keep in mind, the longer it sits, the dressing will soften the vegetables some.

    For this recipe, there are 7 grams of carbs per serving, but with 3 grams of fiber, that brings the net carb so just 4 grams!

    Cauliflower: This is the most versatile veggie in the Keto world. Loaded just about vitamin and mineral that you need, especially vitamin C, vitamin K and B6, cauliflower is a great addition to any diet.

    Do I Need to Cook the Broccoli or Cauliflower?

    Part of what makes this salad so great is the crunch you get from the veggies, so I don't cook them at.

    If you prefer the broccoli and cauliflower to be a little softer, you can add the florets to a dry, microwave-safe bowl and cook for a couple of minutes just to soften them slightly. Just be sure you allow them to cool completely so they won't melt the cheese.

    Bacon and Broccoli Cauliflower Tips and Variations

    • Peppers: This recipe uses a classic combination of broccoli and cauliflower. But you can also add bell peppers if you prefer. Red, orange and yellow bell peppers are sweeter than green bell peppers, plus they add beautiful color to the salad.
    • Dressing: Apple cider vinegar adds incredible flavor to the dressing for this salad. But, if you happen to have red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar on hand, both will work just as well to balance out the sweetness of the mayo and monk fruit/allulose blend.
    • Bacon: Crispy bacon is a star ingredient in this recipe. You can use turkey bacon or fried prosciutto.
    • Cheese: You can change the cheese to use any of your favorites. Colby, pepper jack or white cheddar would all be great with the other flavors in the salad.
    • Nuts/Seeds: Change up the crunch factor by using pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, chopped walnut or pecans. To really maximize their flavor, you'll want to slightly toast them in a dry skillet first.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 3 ½ cups raw cauliflower, cut into small florets
    • 8 slices uncured bacon
    • 1 cup cheddar cheese, cubed
    • 1 cup mayonnaise
    • ½ cup sour cream
    • ⅓ cup red onion, diced
    • ⅓ cup sunflower seeds
    • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons monk fruit/allulose
    • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper to taste

    INSTRUCTIONS

    • Heat a large skillet and fry the bacon until crisp.
    • Remove and set aside to cool before chopping into bite site pieces.
    • In a large mixing bowl, add the cauliflower, broccoli, cheese, red onion, sunflower seeds and bacon.
    • In a small mixing bowl, add in the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sweetener, garlic salt and pepper.
    • Whisk until well combined.

    RECIPE NOTES

    If you don't have monk fruit/allulose, you can use plain monk fruit, Swerve confections or allulose.  If you use allulose, you'll want to use slightly more, since allulose is about 70% as sweet.
    If you don't have sunflower seeds, you can use pine nuts, slivered almonds or walnuts instead.
    If you don't like sour cream, you could substitute with Greek yogurt.
