If you follow me on Instagram then you knew this recipe was coming your way. I have been trying to eat pretty clean since the New Year (minus the Bojangles and Pizza I consumed last weekend). I like to make a salad at the start of each week to have for my lunch everyday. Saves money and then lunch is easy no planning necessary and it's healthy. I made this salad this week and it knocked my socks off. If you love Cauliflower then you will love this salad. The flavors are so fresh, light, and delicious. I think it would be killer with some grilled Shrimp if you wanted a heartier meal but it was perfect alone for lunch. I love that the cauliflower is raw and not cooked- most recipes call for it cooked. The raw crunch of the cauliflower adds some great texture. All the fresh herbs and feta really give the salad amazing flavor. I promise you will be hooked on this. I am on day three of eating it and still not sick of it!
Bon Appetit!
