A delightful and creamy vegetable salad with a ranch twist, perfect for any occasion.
Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the pieces are uniform for even flavor distribution.
Dice the purple onion finely.
Soak the diced onion in cold water for a few minutes to mellow its flavor.
Combine the broccoli, cauliflower, onion, bacon, and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Add the ranch dressing to the bowl and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust the amount of dressing to your preference.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy.
Garnish with additional shredded cheese or fresh herbs for a decorative touch.
