Let’s talk about the ingredients in this salad!

I used 8 ounces of regular sliced bacon for my salad. If you’d like a thicker option, you could use thick cut bacon for your salad. The combination of broccoli and cauliflower gives our salad great color, flavor, and texture. I used white cauliflower; but you could go wild and use orange or purple cauliflower if you can find it. I chose to use a red onion for the color and distinct flavor it brings. You can use a white or yellow onion if you’d like. I am a big fan of blue cheese and think it adds an awesome creamy element and just a little bite to this salad. If you’d prefer, you can substitute cubed cheddar cheese. I’d recommend adding about 8 ounces if you go this route. The blue cheese blends in well with all the other ingredients, so I’d suggest you try it with blue cheese.😉

How do you make the dressing for this keto broccoli cauliflower blue cheese salad?

The dressing for our salad contains just 6 ingredients; but they combine to make an awesomely creamy and delicious dressing. We start with a base of keto mayonnaise and sour cream. I prefer the Chosen Foods avocado oil mayo, but you can use any brand you’d like. The apple cider vinegar adds just a little tang to our dressing, while the keto sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness. I use Swerve sweetener. It contains zero calories and zero net carbs. It’s also delicious! A little salt and pepper finish off our dressing. You can taste your salad and add more salt and pepper if you’d like.

Do you have any tips for making this keto broccoli cauliflower blue cheese salad?

This is a fun and easy salad to make, but I do have a few tips so yours will turn out perfectly every time! First, you’ll want to cut your broccoli and cauliflower into bite size pieces. Also, cut them into approximately the same size pieces. Since we are adding raw onion to our salad, I like to soak my diced onions in water for about 5 minutes and then drain them well before adding them to the salad. This takes some of the bite out of the onion. Next, I prefer to buy a wedge of blue cheese and crumble it myself. I think it turns out creamier this way. Last, I recommend you refrigerate your salad for about 4 hours or overnight before serving. This allows all the flavors to combine and will give the cauliflower and broccoli time to soften a little.
