Recipe for cauliflower salad
A delicious and filling salad with cauliflower, asparagus, and red lentils.
The salad can be served as is, or tossed with a dressing if you want to add extra flavor.
The salad works well as a side dish for fish or light meat, but due to the high protein content in the lentils, it can also be served as a standalone vegetarian dish.
