Sometimes when you start a new diet (such as Keto) you’ll find that there’s stuff you’ve been eating already that fits into your new diet perfectly! Just because you change your habits, doesn’t mean you necessarily need to give up EVERYTHING. This salad recipe is actually my husbands grandmothers. She makes it almost every family gathering and I always look forward to it, especially now that I’m Keto and this is one of the few things I KNOW I’ll be able to eat at the get-togethers.
If you’ve been following my blog, you also know I love things that are SIMPLE and QUICK. This recipe fits the bill for that too! All you need is cauliflower, broccoli, mayo, sour cream, and dry ranch dressing mix. 5 ingredients. See? Simple!
All you have to do is cut up the broccoli and cauliflower into bit size pieces and put in a large container. Mix the sour cream, mayo, and dressing mix. Then mix the cut veggies and dressing together until well mix and all veggies are coated. Chill until ready to it.
That’s it – seriously. And it’s SO good! My daughter who is a ranch-a-holic, absolutely loves this too. She always steals the veggies as I’m cutting them. You could easily throw in some seeds, chopped crispy bacon, maybe even some olives! Possibilities are endless.
You can easily throw this together in less than 10 minutes, but it’s best if you mix the dressing first and let it chill for a couple hours.
