Notes
- Prep Ahead for Convenience: Prepare the cauliflower rice and chop the vegetables ahead of time for quicker assembly when needed. Store them separately in airtight containers in the fridge.
- Enhance with Nuts or Seeds: Add a crunchy element by sprinkling toasted pine nuts, sliced almonds, or hemp seeds over the salad before serving.
- Marinate for Deeper Flavor: For even more flavor infusion, marinate the cauliflower rice in the dressing for a few hours or overnight before assembling the salad.
