[recipe] Cauliflower Cashew Salad

[Guest guest]

I found this recipe in a quickcooking magazine

and it is really good. I liked that it only had 5

ingredients and included nutritional analysis;

one could always play around with the ingredient

list a bit to suit taste and make it more colorful.

When I made this I added some diced green

and red bell pepper in the place of 2 of the carrots.

 

Cauliflower Cashew Salad

 

1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets

4 medium carrots, halved and thinly sliced

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1 bottle (8 oz.) ranch dressing

1/2 cup cashews

 

In a serving bowl, combine the cauliflower, carrots,

and peas. Drizzle with the dressing; toss to coat.

Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Just before

serving, stir in cashews.

Yield: 8 to 10 servings
