Ingredients

4 strips Bacon
2 cups Broccoli Florets
2 cups Cauliflower Florets
1 cup Red Grapes sliced in half
½ cup Red Onion sliced, If you don’t like red onion, feel free to omit it, but I wouldn't recommend substituting it with white onion, as it's too strong.
1 cup Greek Yogurt
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon White Vinegar
1 teaspoon Stevia Monkfruit, maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, brown sugar or any sugar you prefer may be used instead.
2 tablespoons Sunflower Seeds
2 Green Onions diced

Instructions

Cook the bacon according to package instructions. Once the bacon is cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar and sweetener.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw broccoli florets, raw cauliflower, red onion, sliced grapes with the yogurt mixture and bacon. Chill 1 hour prior to serving. You can chill longer if you like!
Top with green onions and sunflower seeds for serving!

Notes

1 serving equals about 1 cup
Let it Chill: Chill the salad for at least an hour before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Uniform Florets: Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into uniform pieces for even coating and a more visually appealing salad.
Storing: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; it won’t freeze well.
