Directions:

  1. 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.
  2. Mix the Salad:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the prepared vegetables. Toss them gently to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

This Cold Veggie Salad is not only quick and easy to prepare but also bursting with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. It’s a delightful way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet and is sure to become a favorite go-to recipe for any occasion!
