A sweet, tangy dressing covers this cauliflower and broccoli salad. The addition of bacon and cheese gives it a savory flavor that has you coming back for another bite.

Variations

Cheese – I like sharp cheddar for this recipe, but other types of cheeses will work too. Try Colby jack for a milder flavor or feta for tang.
Seeds or nuts – Use sunflower seeds or slivered almonds instead of the pumpkin seeds.
Raisins – Raisins would be a good alternative to Craisins.
