Creamy Broccoli, Cauliflower, Corn, Bacon Salad

I used store-bought sliced carrots, and I cooked my bacon in the oven.  It’s really an easy recipe, once you have all the ingredients.  Just assemble everything together and mix it with the dressing!

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

• 3 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped into small pieces
• 3 cups cauliflower florets, finely chopped into small pieces
• 2 cups carrots, finely sliced
• 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn kernels, drained
• 1/2 cup red onion, diced
• 10 slices bacon, cooked, drained of fat, and chopped
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Salad Dressing option 1 (Ranch dressing):

• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup sour cream or kefir or Greek yogurt
• 1 or 2 tablespoons dry Ranch mix, or more, to taste
• Salad Dressing option 2 (without Ranch):
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream or kefir or Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/4 cup honey, softened or warmed up
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Salad Ingredients:

1. In a large bowl, combine together all salad ingredients.
2. Use one of the two salad dressing recipes provided.
3. Salad Dressing option 1 (Ranch dressing):
4. In a medium bowl, combine mayo and sour cream (or kefir or Greek yogurt) and add 1 or 2 tablespoons of dry Ranch mix. Mix well and taste to see if you need to add more dry Ranch mix to the dressing.

Salad Dressing option 2 (without Ranch):

1. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, sour cream (or kefir or Greek yogurt), lemon juice, honey, and salt. Note that honey should be soft and runny, warm it up if needed, so that it mixes easily. Whisk the ingredients until well combined and smooth. Add salt if needed.
2. Gradually add the salad dressing of your choice to the large bowl with the salad ingredients, and stir everything together.
