Ingredients

  • 2 heads broccoli, cut into florets

  • 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets

  • 1 medium carrot, shredded

  • ¼ medium red onion, minced

  • 5 slices cooked and crumbled bacon

Dressing:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper sauce (such as Frank's® RedHot®)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, then transfer florets to a bowl of ice water to cool.

  2. Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for dressing together in a bowl.

  3. Remove florets from the ice water and put on paper towels to dry.

  4. When ready to serve, transfer florets to a large bowl. Mix in carrot, onion, and bacon. Pour in dressing and toss until well distributed. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Cook's Note:

I used garlic-flavored red wine vinegar for the dressing.
