Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under running water. Chop the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets, slice the carrots into thin rounds, dice the onion, and cut the zucchini into half-moons. Place all the chopped vegetables into a large mixing bowl.

  2. Mix the Dressing: Pour your chosen dressing over the top of the vegetables. You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own by combining olive oil, vinegar, mustard, herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture gently to ensure all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.

  3. Marinate the Salad: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the salad to marinate for at least 12 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld beautifully. The longer the salad sits, the more flavorful it becomes.

  4. Serve: Once you’re ready to serve, remove the salad from the refrigerator. Give it a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing. You can serve it as a side dish at your next potluck, BBQ, or family gathering, or enjoy it as a healthy snack.
