- Steam the broccoli and cauliflower until crisp-tender, but not mushy. You can also roast them in the oven for a slightly caramelized flavor.
- While the broccoli and cauliflower are cooking, prepare the poppy seed dressing. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, poppy seeds, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Once the broccoli and cauliflower are cooked, let them cool slightly before adding them to the dressing. This will help prevent the dressing from curdling.

- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Garnish with additional poppy seeds, if desired.
