Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad with Pickled Onions and Bacon

These pickled red onions are briskly tart and sweet, and redolent of black pepper and cloves. They contrast beautifully in flavor and color with smoky, salty bacon and cabbage-like steamed broccoli and cauliflower for this simple yet hearty cool-weather salad.
