BROCCOLI CAULIFLOWER PEPITA SALAD

Broccoli Cauliflower Pepita Salad image

This is my homemade twist on the traditional broccoli salad. Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) give this salad a nutty, chewy-crunch, and the light, bright-tasting dressing accents the hearty veggie mix. A favorite at picnics and potlucks!
