Ingredients
FOR THE SALAD:
- 1.5 cups broccoli chopped
- 2 cups cauliflower chopped
- 1 cup corn fresh, canned, or steamed from frozen, cooked
- 15 oz chickpeas drained + rinsed, canned
- ½ bell pepper chopped
- ⅓ cup onion or to taste, red, chopped
- 2 TBSP green onion chopped
- parsley fresh, for garnish, optional topping
FOR THE DRESSING:
- 1.5 avocado ripe
- ½ cup mayonnaise quality
- 1 TBSP lemon juice (extra to taste)
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp salt sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and chop your veggies and toss 'em all together!
- For the corn, steam or sauté if using fresh or frozen. If using canned, simply drain and rise. I opted for frozen corn + lightly steamed.
- Next toss all your dressing ingredients in a food processor and blend until perfectly smooth and creamy. Feel free to add any extra salt/pepper/spices to taste. A blender or immersion blender may also be used with great results!
- Toss your veggies in about 1/4 of the dressing adding extra as desired. You may want a little, or a lot! The dressing keeps marvelously refridgerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Enjoy!

Notes
- Keep chopped vegetables and avocado dressing stored separately to maintain freshness before serving.
- Leftover salad can be refreshed by stirring in additional dressing to restore creaminess.
- The avocado dressing blends mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce, providing a smooth texture and balanced flavor.
- Dressing stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
- Saving extra avocado to eat on the side or as a topping is recommended for added texture and flavor.
