Anyone who was alive in the ‘90s or loves a little bit of retro nostalgia remembers that signature sweet-and-savory raw broccoli salad from picnics and potlucks. You know, the one with nuts and craisins, coated in a sweet mayo-like dressing that’s so addictively good? Because it was made with raw veg, everyone thought that it was the best thing at the buffet table or salad bar—until they looked at the ingredients and saw corn syrup, seed oils, and all manner of unmentionables.

This tasty, modern take on the classic side dish is made with Primal Kitchen Mayo with Avocado Oil and two types of raw veggies, for a cleaned-up broccoli cauliflower salad everyone will crave. It still has all the elements of the original, like bacon, tree nuts, and cheddar, but scaled up with higher-quality ingredients for an elevated feel (think uncured bacon and woodsy pine nuts instead of the basics). This is a great recipe to prep ahead of time for parties or picnics. If you’re making this salad in advance, consider adding the crumbled bacon and pine nuts just before serving to keep them crunchy.
