Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm broccoli and cauliflower florets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • 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.
  • Gently toss the broccoli and cauliflower in the dressing until evenly coated.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Garnish with additional poppy seeds, if desired.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower and broccoli salad with poppy seed dressing is a healthy and delicious side dish or light meal. It's packed with nutrients and antioxidants, and the poppy seed dressing adds a creamy, tangy flavor. This salad is perfect for picnics, potlucks, or everyday meals. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, it's sure to become a favorite.
