Instructions
Make the bacon. Heat your oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil. Lay the bacon pieces out flat and cook for 13-15 minutes until crispy. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble the bacon pieces.
Combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, crumbled bacon, dried cranberries, sunflower seed kernels, diced red onion, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Mix up the sauce ingredients. Combine the mayo, apple cider vinegar, and coconut aminos in a small bowl and whisk.
Pour the sauce over the salad and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or chill in the fridge for a few hours first. Enjoy!
Notes
This salad will stay good in the fridge for up to 4 days!
