What a delicious salad this turned out to be!  Try it for yourself!  There are lots of raw vegetables in this salad: Broccoli, Cauliflower, Corn, Carrots, Red Onions.

Ranch dressing, as you can guess, will go great with all these raw veggies.  If you don’t want to use Ranch, the other option is to combine mayo with sour cream (or Kefir or Greek yogurt) and then mix it with softened honey and lemon juice (preferably freshly squeezed)! You choose which dressing you want with this Creamy Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad.

It’s really important to dice broccoli and cauliflower into really small and fine pieces so that the dressing coats more surface, and that makes the salad even creamier and more delicious!

I used store-bought sliced carrots, and I cooked my bacon in the oven.  It’s really an easy recipe, once you have all the ingredients.  Just assemble everything together and mix it with the dressing!

      If you do salad option #2 – use light mayo and greek yogurt instead of sour cream – the total amount of calories is 1,946 – it makes 8 servings so total amount per serving is 244 calories.

    It should be called anti-inflammatory salad! Full of good stuff.
