I hardly ever have a “traditional” dinner. What do I mean by traditional? Well, those heavy pasta-laden, saucy, meaty meals that are so delicious, but are just so… well, heavy. Instead, I use whatever my garden provides and make something that’s totally in season. During the summer, most evenings I’m outside late doing everything and anything that my garden needs (you can see recent shots of my garden over on Instagram). And when I make it inside for the evening, I crave something quick and flavorful. Hello, broccoli and cauliflower salad!

By default, my go-to’s are salads. I take whatever is plentiful and throw it in a bowl – ok, maybe with a bit more finesse. This year I fell in love with this curried-flavored broccoli and cauliflower salad that’s loaded with extras like cherry tomatoes and topped with cashews.

If I can get anything with curry flavor, I’m in. Curry in pasta? I’m in. Curry in a salad? Obviously, I’m in. Curry ice cream? Well, it’s debatable, but I’d definitely give it a try. Maybe this is some inspiration for next year’s Ice Cream Week?

This salad seriously is delicious. Greek yogurt is the perfect base for the dressing that’s mixed with the veggies and there’s no guilt in any of this! I love when food is guilt-free and delicious; it’s such a winning combination!

This is so simple to make and really captures the essence of what summer should be: fresh and easy!
