How to Make African Spiced Broccoli And Cauliflower Salad

  1. Steam 1 large head of broccoli florets and 1 large head of cauliflower florets (cut into bite-sized pieces) covered, for 2 minutes.
  2. Immediately rinse the broccoli and cauliflower mixture under cold water to stop the cooking process and retain vibrant color.
  3. Drain the vegetables thoroughly.
  4. In a small skillet, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  5. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant, stirring constantly.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the toasted spice mixture, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  7. Add the drained broccoli and cauliflower to the bowl.
  8. Toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the dressing.
  9. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped green onions just before serving.
