Description
A refreshing cauliflower salad filled with colorful veggies and a zesty dressing. Perfect for side dishes or light lunches.
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, diced bell pepper, shredded cheese, and finely chopped red onion. Toss them lightly to mix.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper until well blended and slightly emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time helps the flavors meld together beautifully. Serve cold, and enjoy!
Notes
Freshness is key; use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and crunch. For a different taste profile, try using goat cheese or mozzarella instead of cheddar or feta. Add-ins like olives, avocado, or nuts can elevate the salad further.
