Time 5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups cauliflower, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup broccoli, chopped (or green beans)
1 1/2 cups mandarin orange segments
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey (or pure maple syrup)
1/2 teaspoon orange zest

1 dash pepper (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In a covered bowl, toss all ingredients & allow to marinate EITHER for 3 hours at room temperature, stirring often.
  • Divide into 2 serving bowls & ENJOY!

Tips:

  • Try to choose a cauliflower head that is both dense and compact, with tightly packed florets. This will ensure the best texture and flavor in your salad.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cauliflower into florets, as this will help to prevent the florets from becoming bruised or damaged.
  • If you want to save time, you can use a food processor to grate the cauliflower. Just be sure to use the grating disk with the largest holes, so that the cauliflower doesn't become too mushy.
  • In addition to the ingredients listed in the recipe, you can also add other vegetables to your salad, such as grated carrots, diced celery, or chopped red onion. You can also add a handful of nuts or seeds for extra crunch.
  • For a more flavorful salad, try marinating the cauliflower in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before adding the other ingredients.
  • Raw cauliflower salad is a great make-ahead dish. Simply prepare the salad up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, just give it a quick toss and enjoy.
