Amish Broccoli Salad

Broccoli and cauliflower salad in white bowl.

This Amish broccoli salad is made with fresh broccoli and cauliflower mixed with shredded cheddar and crispy bits of bacon. It's all dressed with a sweet, tangy, creamy dressing. We like to make this in the summer and serve it with just about anything off the grill.

Ingredients

1 medium head broccoli
1 medium head cauliflower
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
8 slices bacon fried and crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup sugar see notes
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Add to a large mixing bowl with the cheddar and bacon. Stir to combine.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, and salt to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the dressing over the broccoli and stir to coat.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.

Notes

With ¼ cup of sugar, this does have a bit of sweetness to it, but it’s not as sweet as many Amish salads are, due to our personal preference. You can increase the sugar up to ¾ of a cup if you like things sweeter.

Add in some diced red onion if you like a bit of bite in your salads.
