For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add a handful of toasted sunflower seeds for a satisfying crunch. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. This salad can be made ahead of time. The flavors meld together beautifully as it sits in the refrigerator. For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the broccoli and cauliflower florets before adding them to the salad.
