Ingredients

  • 2 cups purple cauliflower, chopped into small florets
  • 2 cups broccoli, chopped into small florets
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup raisins or golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds or sliced almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (or a mix)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the purple cauliflower, broccoli, red onion, raisins, and toasted seeds or nuts.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until well coated.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, stir the salad again and adjust seasoning if needed.

Notes

  • For softer veggies, blanch the cauliflower and broccoli briefly and cool before using.
  • This salad can be made a day ahead—it tastes better after chilling.
  • To make it vegan, use plant-based yogurt or vegan mayo and maple syrup.
