This may not look like your typical salad, but I can promise you one thing — it tastes so much better than a bowl of just lettuce and dressing. A Mediterranean take on the traditional American broccoli and cauliflower salad, she's sweet, tangy, and crunchy. And if you like feta cheese and dried cranberries, you'll fall head over heels for this easy recipe.
Not only is this salad delicious and creamy, it's packed with tons of healthy veggies. Cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower, are rich in vitamins, fibre, and disease-fighting phytochemicals that you can't find in just a regular salad made of entirely lettuce. Consuming them raw such as in this salad is also the best way to preserve all their amazingness!
So say goodbye to the same salad you have every week and introduce this delicious broccoli and cauliflower salad to your new meal rotation. You won't regret it!
