This easy and healthy-ish creamy broccoli cauliflower salad recipe is loaded with crisp and crunchy cucumbers, radishes, broccoli and cauliflower florets and fresh herbs. Tossed and coated with simple 3-ingredient Greek yogurt dressing, making each bite of this salad supremely satisfying.
Wash all vegetables & paper towel pat dry. Cut broccoli into small florets.
Remove and discard cauliflower core and cut the rest into small florets, similar to broccoli.
Thinly slice halved cucumbers and radishes. Finely chop green onions and fresh dill. Add to the salad.
In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup mayo, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon fine salt. Add dressing to the salad and toss well to combine, just before serving.
Broccoli salad will stay nice and fresh for 2-3 days in refrigerator without the dressing.
Notes
This salad can be made ahead of time in full. Keep dressing in separate bowl and stir into salad just before serving.
Replace cauliflower for broccoli only, by doubling the broccoli amount in the recipe.
Substitute green onions for fresh chives and add some fresh Italian parsley.
Replace Greek yogurt for sour cream or do all-sour-cream dressing and remove the mayo completely. Add more salt if necessary.
Add in some dried cranberries for sweet and tangy flavor, toasted sunflower seeds or toasted nuts for even more crunch.
Substitute radishes for rutabaga; both are zesty and spicy and very similar in taste. Peel and thinly slice rutabaga into matchsticks onto mandolin.
