BROCCOLI-CAULIFLOWER SALAD with Dried Cranberries and Pistachios

By Nana_CAM

Dried cranberries and pistachios replace raisins and pecans in this traditional salad.

Ingredients

• 6 Bacon slices
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 3 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets
• 2 cups coarsely chopped cauliflower (about 1/2 head)
• 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
• 3 Tbsp. chopped red onion

Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp; remove bacon, and drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon.

2. Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until blended. Add bacon, broccoli, and remaining ingredients. Toss until vegetables are coated.

Note: Chop the broccoli and cauliflower just enough to create uniform pieces, keeping smaller florets intact.
