Vegetables never tasted so good! Chopped Broccoli and Cauliflower Salad is creamy, cheesy, and crunchy. Bacon tends to be a dominant flavour, so this version has none. This salad is that good!

Instructions
Wash and chop the broccoli and cauliflower. Set aside to drain well.
In a dry skillet, over medium-low heat, add the pine nuts and keep them moving around the skillet until toasted. They will begin to smell nutty and turn a golden brown colour. Remove from skillet and transfer to a shallow glass bowl immediately.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk to combine.
Add the broccoli and cauliflower. Toss well to coat and combine.
Next, add the cheese and the pine nuts. Toss to combine.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour or until ready to serve. Before serving, lightly toss again to re-distribute the ingredients.
