Description
Whip up this vibrant Creamy Broccoli Cauliflower Corn Salad! Crisp florets and sweet corn meet a tangy Greek yogurt-mayo dressing. Perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
- Fresh broccoli florets: 2 cups, chopped
- Fresh cauliflower florets: 2 cups, chopped
- Canned sweet corn, drained: 1.5 cups (approx. 15 oz can)
- Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
- Plain Greek yogurt: 1/4 cup
- Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- Granulated sugar: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the vegetables. Chop fresh broccoli and cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets. If you prefer them softer, you can blanch or steam them for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and drain thoroughly. Drain the canned sweet corn well.
- Step 2: Make the creamy dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: Combine the salad ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add the prepared broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and the drained sweet corn.
- Step 4: Dress the salad. Pour the creamy dressing over the vegetables in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together using a spatula or spoon until all the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Step 5: Chill and serve. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refriger refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill completely. Serve cold as a refreshing summer side dish.
Notes
- Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days; for best texture and flavor, enjoy it within the first day.
- This refreshing salad is designed to be served cold, so no reheating is needed—simply pull it from the fridge and enjoy its crisp coolness!
- Serve this vibrant salad alongside your favorite grilled chicken or fish, at a backyard barbecue, or as a light and refreshing addition to any picnic spread.
- For a perfectly balanced dressing, taste it before adding to the vegetables and adjust the sugar or apple cider vinegar slightly to suit your preference for sweet or tangy.
