Amish Broccoli Cauliflower Salad tossed in a creamy dressing of yogurt and mayonnaise. This easy recipe is perfect for gatherings and low carb friends.

The first time I had a raw broccoli salad was at my bridal shower over 20 years ago. My mother?s recipe for broccoli salad had bacon and cranberries. Yum. It?s been my family?s go-to summer salad ever since. But it?s nice to change things up once in awhile. This Amish broccoli cauliflower salad does it for me. It?s especially a hit with the cheese lovers in the family!
I have a recipe for low carb broccoli salad with bacon on the blog. I love it because it's so easy to customize. I add nuts and seeds by whim and sometimes add a few raisins or unsweetened cranberries. A little sesame oil adds a pleasant sweet flavor.
What I really like about this Amish broccoli cauliflower salad recipe is the cheese. Using sharp cheddar cheese adds a nice tang and texture to the salad.
Some recipes for Amish broccoli cauliflower salad call for grated cheddar cheese, but I like it cubed. I admit it?s purely based on aesthetics. The grated cheese mixes well, but the salad becomes a creamy indiscernible mess. Cubing the cheese adds another visible layer of texture.
This recipe, too, is easy to customize. Try replacing the cheddar cheese with Parmesan or any other favorite. Add seeds or nuts – sunflower seeds would be great. Try using a colored variety of cauliflower for fun.
