  • 8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

Creamy Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Dillo Dust SPG Steak Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sweetener (optional, for balance)

Step 1

Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli and cauliflower. Cut into small, bite-sized florets for the best texture.

Step 2

Place the broccoli, cauliflower, cheddar cheese, bacon, red onion, and green onions into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sweetener (if using), and Dillo Dust SPG Steak Seasoning until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the vegetables and gently fold everything together until evenly coated.

Step 5

Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Chilling allows the flavors of the Dillo Dust SPG Steak Seasoning to blend throughout the salad.

Step 6

Stir once more before serving and garnish with additional bacon, cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, or a light sprinkle of Dillo Dust SPG Steak Seasoning.


  • Chop the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even bites.
  • Dry the vegetables well so the dressing stays creamy.
