Ingredients

  • 4 cups heaping bite size Broccoli pieces
  • 4 cups heaping bite size Cauliflower pieces
  • 4 Green Onions thinly sliced
  • ½ lb Bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 Cup Ranch Dressing *see note at the end
  • 5 oz Cashew halves and pieces 1 can

Instructions

  • Cut up the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice up the green onions.
  • Cook and crumble the bacon.
  • Toss the broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, and bacon with the ranch dressing.
  • Toss in the cashews right before serving so they don't get soggy.

Notes

  • I NEVER use pre-bottled ranch dressing. I use the Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix that you add milk, not buttermilk too.
