This Healthy Crunchy Cauliflower Salad is incredibly awesome! It’s a delicious and healthy dish that’s packed with flavor and texture. It’s full of crunchy veggies, with a lovely dressing, and makes it a perfect side dish for lunch. Plus, it’s easy to make and doesn’t require any special ingredients.

Description
Crunchy Cauliflower Salads are a fun and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables while also enjoying a delicious and great taste. They are also incredibly easy to make and can be enjoyed as part of a meal or as a snack
Ingredients
Dressing:
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1–2 tbsp sugar
Salad:
- About 1/2 a cauliflower, finely chopped (I cheated and bought a bag of raw riced cauliflower)
- About 1/2 a bunch of celery, finely sliced (I peel off the outside stalks and use the middle ones with their leaves as I find them more tender and milder)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced (green and white parts)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, raw and unsalted (I often add a bit more!)
- 1/2 cup golden raisins (or more!)
Instructions
- Mix the dressing ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- Cut up in small bite-size pieces all other ingredients and toss them in the dressing
- Let it stand a bit (if you have more patience than I do) for the flavors to combine.
- It’s so fresh, so crunchy, and so flavourful – I can’t stop eating it!!!

Thank you Linda, we love it, and so easy and refreshing as well.
I want to make this salad right now it sounds so good! But I am going to have to pin it until I have a chance to go out and get the cauliflower. I will cheat too and get it rice already! Great idea!!
Hi Catherine, No cheating by getting rice cauliflower, why not make it easier on yourself. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Thanks for popping in
Sounds yummy Esme, I love cauliflower! One of my favorite veggies, raw, cooked, doesn’t matter to me! I have never added pumpkin seeds to my salads, but I think I will give them a try. I miss croutons so I began substituting them with sunflower seeds, but I bet the pumpkin seeds would be a great match too. Thank you for sharing with Whimsy Home Wednesday!
