Whole 30 Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli Salad is a side dish that is super popular during the summer months for barbecues, potlucks, and more! The classic recipe calls for quite a bit of sugar in the dressing, so we decided to whip up a version using clean ingredients, avocado mayo, and added some cauliflower for a little versatility. Oh, and did we mention it’s Whole30 friendly AND it has bacon? So many wins with this Broccoli Cauliflower Salad.

Make this easy salad ahead of time for a get-together or simply whip it up for an easy lunch prep throughout the week. Nothing beats a hearty salad that packs a nutrient-dense punch! Especially one with this much flavor.

Broccoli Cauliflower Salad Recipe Tips:

• You can substitute any Whole30 compliant fruit such as apple for the dried cranberries.
• Switch up the nuts with walnuts or cashews to use what you have on hand.
• If you want to save leftovers or make this ahead of time, just store the salad and dressing separately so it doesn’t get soggy. Just mix it all together about an hour before you want to eat it so the dressing soaks in.
• Buy pre-chopped broccoli and cauliflower to make this recipe even easier!
