Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the broccoli and cauliflower by hand.
  • Be sure to chop the vegetables into small pieces so that they will cook evenly.
  • For a crunchier salad, use raw broccoli and cauliflower. For a softer salad, blanch the vegetables in boiling water for 1-2 minutes before adding them to the salad.
  • To add extra flavor to the salad, try adding some grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.
  • If you are making the salad ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
