Recipe for creamy cauliflower salad with broccoli, apples, cranberries, and bacon
Here you get a delightful salad that is both easy, quick, and truly delicious! A salad that is easy to overlook when you need something extra good and healthy – but without being complicated. It only takes 15 minutes to whip up and you get crispy broccoli and cauliflower in a creamy dressing, tangy apples, sweetness and chewiness from dried cranberries, and crunch from the salty bacon. It tastes sooo good and leaves both the stomach and senses immensely satisfied.
I eat this salad as a meal on its own for both lunch and dinner, but it can also easily be used as a side dish. If you are vegetarian, you can replace the bacon with salted almonds – they do a similar job! No matter what, it’s a delightful salad that I personally return to again and again – hope you like it.
The salad is great all year round, but it also excels on a Christmas (lunch) table. The fresh ingredients with a Christmas touch from the cranberries are a wonderful supplement to the slightly heavier Christmas dishes.
