Broccoli-Cauliflower Cashew Salad image

I make this salad often in summertime. It is very refreshing, healthy and low in calories. If I want to make it into an entree, I add chicken or shrimp along with cooked pasta.

I had a hard time finding broccoli and cauliflower florets that were small enough for this salad. I ended up having to cut them into smaller pieces.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more herbs or spices to give it more flavor.

I found the dressing to be a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's just personal preference.
