Along with the previously posted Cabbage Apple Coleslaw, this is another of our favorite vegetable salads: Broccoli Cauliflower Bacon Salad. Salads make good passage food as well as nice side dishes in the hot Caribbean. Whenever, I cook bacon, I try to freeze a few slices so that I can easily make this salad or if you go to the States you can order a package of Hormel Black Label Fully Cooked Bacon from Amazon. This bacon is super thin and can be heated in the microwave for 30 seconds (or on the stove), so that it is crunchy. It is easy to transport in your luggage because it does not need refrigeration until opened. We always bring some back with us or have others who visit bring it with them. Hope you enjoy this salad as much as we do!
