Ingredients

12 slices bacon
1 head cauliflower, chopped
1 head fresh broccoli, diced
0.75 cup sunflower seeds
0.5 red onion, diced
1 cup creamy salad dressing
1.5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
0.25 cup white sugar

Instructions

Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the salad.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy and evenly browned, approximately 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease, then crumble into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, cauliflower florets, broccoli florets, sunflower seeds, and diced red onion.
In a separate jug, whisk together the salad dressing, sugar, and vinegar until well combined. Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Cover the salad and refrigerate to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly before serving. Enjoy!
