A delightful and colorful salad combining fresh vegetables, cheese, and a creamy dressing.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the pieces are uniform for even mixing and presentation.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Cook the bacon on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even crispiness.
Combine the broccoli, cauliflower, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, onion, carrot, and cranberries in a large mixing bowl.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar, and salt to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the sweetness or saltiness as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Add the dressing gradually to control the amount and avoid overdressing.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
