Notes
Use the tough ends and stems of the kale in smoothie, recipes, such as this compost smoothie.
Create small cauliflower florets to ensure the salad is tender and easy to chew. If you prefer, you can blanche the cauliflower florets in boiling water for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water for a more tender result.
If you can’t find purple cauliflower, use white, green, or orange cauliflower for this recipe.
This salad holds up well; store in the refrigerator for up to five days in an airtight container.
