Broccoli Cauliflower Salad

Broccoli cauliflower salad is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines the flavors and textures of these two vegetables. Here’s a simple recipe to make a broccoli cauliflower salad:

 

Ingredients:

 

– 2 cups broccoli florets

– 2 cups cauliflower florets

– 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

– 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)

– 1/2 cup sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts (optional)

– 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

 

For the dressing:

 

– 1/4 cup mayonnaise

– 1/4 cup Greek yogurt

– 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

– 1 tablespoon honey

– Salt and pepper to taste

 

Instructions:

 

1. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, red onion, dried cranberries (if using), sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts (if using), and crumbled feta cheese (if using).

 

2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

 

3. Pour the dressing over the broccoli and cauliflower mixture. Toss well to coat all the vegetables evenly with the dressing.

 

4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. This will also help to soften the vegetables slightly.

 

5. Before serving, give the salad a good stir and taste again for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.

 

6. Serve the broccoli cauliflower salad chilled as a side dish or as a light lunch. Enjoy!

 

Feel free to customize the salad according to your preferences. You can add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers, and experiment with different nuts, seeds, or cheeses.
