Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 medium carrot
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the cauliflower. Cut it into small, bite-sized florets and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the cauliflower.
Peel the carrots and either shred them using a grater or cut them into thin matchsticks. Add to the bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the salad mixture.
Chop the parsley and scatter it over the vegetables.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden. Let them cool and then sprinkle over the salad.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
