Recipe for creamy cauliflower salad with pesto dressing, avocado, apple, and salted almonds
I think this salad might be one of my favorites at the moment. The cauliflower is cut into small pieces and tossed in a flavorful pesto dressing (pesto just makes everything a bit better, doesn’t it?) and then combined with fresh salad, tangy apples, soft avocado cubes, and crunchy, salty almonds. The different elements create a perfect balance between crunchy and soft, salty and tangy.
The result is a top delicious creamy salad filled with crunch and flavor. As a bonus, it’s both quick and utterly simple to conjure up. I sometimes eat it as a main course, just as it is, but it can also easily be used as a side dish for various warm dishes.
In any case, it is a really delicious and easy salad that I can truly recommend.
