Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon Broccoli Cauliflower Salad.
Step 1
Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat and cooking the bacon, turning it occasionally, until it reaches a perfect golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once done, transfer the bacon to paper towels to absorb any excess grease.

In a spacious bowl, combine mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, white sugar, and dried basil, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Next, introduce the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and sliced red onion to the creamy concoction, tossing everything together until the vegetables are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or even overnight, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Step 6
When you're ready to serve, crumble the crispy bacon and fold it into the salad along with fresh lettuce, seasoned croutons, and sliced water chestnuts.

Enjoy this delightful dish chilled, perfect for gatherings or a refreshing side at dinner.
