Super Crunch Salad is a bold, texture‑packed side dish that eats almost like a meal. Cauliflower, broccoli, sharp cheddar, tomatoes, onion, celery, and sunflower seeds all come together under a thick, tangy Parmesan dressing that’s equal parts creamy and punchy. The final toss with romaine right before serving gives it extra freshness and prevents any wilting, so the whole salad stays as crunchy as its name suggests.
This is the kind of salad that works anywhere you’d normally bring a pasta salad or coleslaw: potlucks, cookouts, holiday tables, and weeknight dinners. It holds up well in the fridge, makes great leftovers, and is endlessly customizable—you can tweak the veggies, swap the cheese, or dial the dressing from mildly tangy to full‑on zippy depending on your crowd.
