Thanksgiving Sides :: Kale, Cauliflower + Parmesan Salad
Refreshing and clean—a welcomed crunch to your Thanksgiving plate.
½ head of cauliflower
large bunch of kale
Fresh parmigiano reggiano to grate
Juice of one lemon
2 Tbsp Olive oil
Salt + pepper
Wash and tear Kale, removing spine. Slice quartered Cauliflower with a mandolin. Pour good extra virgin olive oil in the bottom of your serving dish. Toss kale and Cauliflower in oil and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. Grate fresh parmesan generously (to taste) over greens. Serves 4-6 as a side.
I recently made raw fennel and celery stalks salad. And your cauliflower and kale is raw, too? That sounds quite great. The cauliflower slices looks so cute.
what can we expect raw kale to taste like?
Raw Kale alone has a slightly bitter taste and is the consistency of a very thick lettuce. coupled with the strong cheese, fresh lemon, olive oil, and subtle cauli it takes a bit of a backseat and just tastes like freshness!
That salad looks absolutely stunning! I love the idea of using kale.
