cauliflower orange salad lemony dressing recipe

I am sharing a new salad recipe with all so close to Christmas for a couple of reasons.

One? I love salads and this salad has a ton of crunch, sweetness and plenty of tang.

Second? It’s the holiday season and in between enjoying all the parties, rich appetizers and Christmas baking it is nice to throw a healthy salad in.

This salad is super easy to put together too and as a bonus is meat less so you can add it to your meatless Monday options.

I also wanted to add in mandarin oranges as well as pomegranates which are readily available in the grocery stores right now.

The lemony dressing can be made in a small glass jar-just add ingredients, place lid on and shake. Just shake!
