Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

 
Broccoli Cauliflower Salad
Note - For an extra splash of color, add jarred pimentos.  I love the way they look, but rarely have them on hand here.

Thirty years ago I worked in a grocery store deli.  This was one of the salads we made, mostly to use up the cheese ends.  

• 1 head broccoli
• 1 head cauliflower [maybe half a head, depends on the size]
• Assorted diced cheeses.  If your deli sells assorted ends, those packs are perfect.  If not, I use a mix of cheddar, colby jack, mozzarella, muenster, or whatever odds and ends we have on hand.
• sliced olives, or a jar of pimentos
• Zesty Italian Dressing

Optional:

• Diced cooked bacon
• Diced onion
• Sunflower seeds
