I have made this for a few family dinners. I hope you love this! This is one of the best side dishes that I have made. The brussels sprouts & cauliflower develop a nutty flavor once roasted, & the bacon vinaigrette adds a great taste. You can also cut the vegetables the day before & store them in an air-tight container & refrigerate.
