Ingredients

Scale

Cauliflower Salad:

  • 1 small to medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized pieces

Cucumber Salad:

  • 1 English cucumber, sliced into thin half-moons

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup chives or green onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or use all sour cream if preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables
    Dice the cauliflower into small, bite-sized pieces and place it in a medium salad bowl.
  2. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice into half-moon shapes. Add the cucumber slices to the bowl.
  3. Chop the Chives
    Finely chop the chives or green onion and sprinkle them over the salad. For a more pronounced onion flavor, include the white parts of the green onion.
  4. Make the Dressing
    In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper until smooth. If using garlic, stir it into the dressing.
  5. Combine and Adjust Seasoning
    Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
  6. Garnish and Serve
    Optional: Garnish the salad with a sprig of parsley or dill for a fresh touch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
