Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli and cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. Drain, then transfer florets to a bowl of ice water to cool.

Step 2
Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, pepper sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for dressing together in a bowl.

I used garlic-flavored red wine vinegar for the dressing.

    I liked this salad, but the dressing was too tart for me. I added a tablespoon of sugar. It’s good, but I’ve had other broccoli salads that I liked better. The Frank’s hot sauce was a new twist that I liked.
