Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Delicious. The whole family gave it 5 stars. Made this salad without bacon to make it vegetarian. Followed advice of some reviewers and only added half of the dressing but it was not enough for our taste so I added more. In total I’d say I put 3/4 of the dressing which more than enough. I also added some red onion and sunflower seeds per recommendations. Even more delicious. I couldn’t help myself and added pumpkin seeds too.

One of the things I love about this site is the reviews by home cooks. I took their advice and cut the amount of dressing by half and lessened the sweetness considerably, using a stevia-erythritol substitute. So glad I did. I decided not to measure the eggs, just adding two to the overall mix. I also subbed white vinegar for the white wine vinegar. Such an easy, delicious salad.

I want to give this recipe a 5 star but I can't. I made this for a dinner party and it didn't go over very well. It was avoided like the plague. And the only person I saw that ate this and like it was my middle child. So tried it and realized...man it was too sweet tasting but was a sweet mayo flavor. Was not good. So the only thing I could think of that would numb the sweetness without over salting or over peppering was celery salt. It seemed to do the trick after a few shakes here and there and tasting and re-shakng some more. until it was mellowed. I'd say the veggies and bacon were fresh and light. But the dressing really didn't do them justice. Sorry. My advice, cut the sugar down or add more vinegar.
