Instructions

1. Chop the broccoli, cauliflower, and onion, then add them to a large mixing bowl. Toss in the crispy bacon and shredded cheddar cheese.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayo, sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.

4. Cover and chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving - this helps the flavors meld together beautifully!
