What You’ll Need:
- 4 cups Fresh Broccoli Florets
- 4 cups Fresh Cauliflower Florets
- 1 medium Onion, Chopped
- 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- Salt to Taste
How to Make Christmas Crunch Salad
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups fresh broccoli florets, 4 cups fresh cauliflower florets, 1 medium size chopped onion, and 2 cups cherry tomatoes.
- In a separate small bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and salt to taste.
- Pour mixture over vegetables and gently stir to combine.
Recipe Notes:
- Vegan – You can easily make this vegan by swapping the mayo and sour cream with vegan mayo and sour cream.
- Florets – A floret just means smaller pieces of the broccoli and cauliflower, so it basically means chopped.
- Tomato – The original recipe called for cutting the cherry tomatoes in half, I don’t do that. It’s completely up to you if you want to!
- Onion – You can reduce the amount of onion, or leave it out, if you don’t like onions.
- Fresh florets – A few things:
- You can buy the broccoli and cauliflower already in florets, or you can chop them up yourself.
- Use fresh, frozen will not work.
- Make ahead – You can make this ahead and it will still taste great when served!
