Craving a fresh salad with substance? This cauliflower salad recipe might be right up your alley. It’s crunchy, chewy, bold and unexpected. You’ll love this salad if you enjoy fresh Mediterranean flavors and reach for raw cauliflower on veggie trays.
Yes, this salad is made with raw cauliflower. The only cooking you’ll need to do for this recipe is toasting the almonds for a few minutes. The cauliflower soaks up the flavors in the vinaigrette during a 30-minute rest.
This recipe is slaw-like in texture, and like all good slaws, it keeps well in the fridge for days. I love to start my meals with a healthy salad that’s ready to serve. Not only is it delicious and nutritious, but it’s also a great practice for keeping blood sugar levels more stable.
