Though this calls for the broccoli and cauliflower florets to be slightly boiled until tender, you can also make this one with the veggies raw.

You can add a can (drained) of mexican corn and red onions for a little more pizazz as well.

  • 1 Tble Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tsp Raw Honey
  • 3 Tble Fresh Lime Juice
  • 1 Cup Broccoli Florets
  • 1 Cup Cauliflower Florets
  • Salt & Pepper to Taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes to Taste (optional)

Mix soy sauce, honey and lime juice.  Set aside.  Boil broccoli and cauliflower for about 5 minutes, until they are tender, yet firm.  Drain and toss immediate with soy sauce – lime mixture.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.

Makes 4 Servings

I love your idea of sharing recipes that are not only nutritious but look delicious as well! This salad looks amazing: colorful, crunchy, and healthy. What more could a perimenopausal or a menopausal gal ask for? THANKS!

Thanks Eileen!

I think every little bit helps as we’re trying to get through these years. If I can pass on good advice, good suggestions or even good food, I’ve got the bases covered.
