Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the vegetables. Take 1 head of cauliflower and chop it into bite-sized florets. Repeat the same process with 1 head of broccoli, ensuring the florets are similar in size for even mixing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower and broccoli. Toss them gently to mix well and ensure an even distribution of the vegetables.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk the mixture together until it is well combined and emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the chopped vegetables in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula or tongs to gently toss the cauliflower and broccoli in the dressing, making sure all the pieces are evenly coated.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each and adjust according to your preference, mixing well after each addition.
- Finally, add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the salad. This will not only add flavor but also a vibrant color. Toss the salad one last time to incorporate the parsley evenly.
- Once everything is mixed well, let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for a short time if you prefer it chilled.
- This detox salad can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish to complement your meal. Enjoy your fresh and healthy Cauliflower and Broccoli Detox Salad!
Tips
- Chop vegetables uniformly to ensure even dressing distribution and consistent texture.
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables for maximum nutritional impact and crunch.
- Let the salad sit for 5-10 minutes after dressing to allow flavors to meld together.
- For extra flavor, consider adding toasted nuts or seeds for a protein boost.
- Use high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil for the best taste and health benefits.
- Always use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled for brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- If you prefer a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or tahini.
- For meal prep, keep the dressing separate and add just before serving to maintain vegetable crispness.
