Introduction

Loaded Broccoli Salad is a vibrant and satisfying side dish packed with fresh veggies, crispy bacon, and creamy dressing. It’s perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a simple family meal. This salad balances crunchy textures with a sweet and tangy flavor that everyone will love.

A white bowl filled with a fresh salad made of several layers: the base layer shows bright green broccoli florets and white cauliflower pieces, mixed with thin slices of purple onion. On top, small crispy pieces of brown bacon are scattered evenly over the vegetables. There are also thin shreds of orange cheddar cheese spread all around, and the entire salad is lightly coated with a creamy white dressing, giving a shiny texture. The background is a white marbled surface, and the photo is taken up close to show the salad’s colors and textures clearly. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

For the Dressing:

3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup clover honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Salad:

4 cups broccoli florets, chopped
4 cups cauliflower florets, chopped
12 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
8 ounces Colby Jack cheese, cut into small cubes
1 red onion, peeled and chopped

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, red wine vinegar, sugar (if using), salt, and black pepper until smooth. Cover and refrigerate while preparing the salad.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped broccoli, cauliflower, half of the crumbled bacon, Colby Jack cheese, and diced red onion.
Step 3: Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and toss well to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Step 4: Sprinkle the remaining bacon on top for a crispy finish. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Make it dairy-free by swapping Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for coconut yogurt or avocado mayo.
Reduce sweetness by using a sugar-free sweetener instead of honey and skipping the optional sugar.
Add extra crunch with toasted almonds, sunflower seeds, or pecans.
Try different cheeses like cheddar, feta, or blue cheese for varied flavors.
Add protein such as grilled chicken or hard-boiled eggs to make it a complete meal.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The salad will remain fresh but may benefit from a gentle toss to redistribute the dressing before serving. For best texture, keep the dressing separate and combine just before serving when making ahead.

FAQs

Can I use frozen broccoli or cauliflower?

It’s best to use fresh broccoli and cauliflower for a crisp texture. If using frozen, thaw completely and drain any excess moisture before adding to the salad.
