For an extra layer of flavor and texture, consider adding 1/4 cup of raisins or chopped walnuts to the salad. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the Italian dressing. To prevent the broccoli and cauliflower from becoming soggy, avoid adding the dressing too far in advance. It's best to dress the salad shortly before chilling. For a creamier texture, you could mix a tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt into the zesty Italian dressing.
