Easy Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Salad Recipe

I put a little twist to the classic broccoli salad recipe by adding some cauliflower to it. This recipe usually calls for mayonnaise and I substituted that with greek yogurt instead. This Broccoli cauliflower salad recipe is so easy to make and so scrumptious. Very filling and great to have a side dish, appetizer or salad.

If you like broccoli salad with bacon go ahead and add some to this recipe. I personally don’t eat bacon or pork so I don’t use them on my recipes. I pretty much kept this broccoli salad vegetarian.

Is Broccoli healthy for your body?

Broccoli is high in fiber and good to include in your diet. It promotes good digestive health. They are not only a good source of folic acid, but they are also high in Vitamin C and K. Need to include some potassium into your diet and don’t want to eat loads of bananas? Then incorporate some broccoli into your diet by making salads instead of just steaming broccoli.

Is it okay to eat broccoli every day?

Broccoli is among one of the healthiest veggies to add to your diet. As mentioned above they are a good source of fiber and great for gut health among many other health benefits of broccoli. The only exception would be for people with hypothyroidism. It’s been found that high intakes of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, turnips, and cabbage cause hypothyroidism.

How long does broccoli cauliflower salad last

This Broccoli Cauliflower salad recipe should last about 3 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. Assuming the salad is already mixed. If you decide to save the dressing on the side and mix the salad later, it should be ok in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Carotenoids and glucosinolates are compounds found in cauliflower that have anti-cancer properties. These compounds seem to protect cells from DNA damage and produce anti-inflammatory effects.
