Prepare the Veggies:
- Start by cutting the cauliflower, broccoli floret, radish, and spring onion into salad-size pieces. Ensure they are fresh and crisp for the best taste and texture.
-
Mix the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables. Toss them gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
-
Prepare the Dressing:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. This creamy dressing will add a delightful tanginess to the salad.
-
Combine Dressing with Veggies:
- Pour the creamy dressing over the mixed vegetables. Use a spatula or spoon to gently coat all the veggies with the dressing. Ensure each piece is nicely coated for a delicious taste in every bite.
-
Refrigerate for Enhanced Flavor:
- Cover the salad bowl with cling wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad for at least 24 hours before serving. Allowing the flavors to meld together overnight will enhance the taste and make every bite more enjoyable.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- After refrigeration, take out the chilled veggie salad and give it a final toss to redistribute the dressing. Serve it as a refreshing side dish alongside your favorite main course or enjoy it on its own as a light and nutritious meal.
Tips:
- For added crunch and flavor, you can sprinkle some toasted nuts or seeds over the salad just before serving.
- Customize the salad by adding other favorite vegetables like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or cucumber.
- If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can adjust the ratio of sour cream to mayonnaise according to your taste preferences.
- This salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop further, making it a perfect make-ahead dish for picnics, potlucks, or weekday lunches.
