Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 3 large Orange
• 1 small bunch Parsley
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Sunflower seeds

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into small bite-sized florets, then finely chop them into rice-sized pieces using a knife or pulse briefly in a food processor.

Step 2

Peel 2 of the oranges and cut them into segments, removing the white pith and any seeds. Set the segments aside in a bowl.

Step 3

Take the remaining orange and juice it into a small bowl to use for the dressing.

Step 4

Chop the parsley into small pieces and slice the red onion into thin slivers.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, orange segments, parsley, and red onion.

Step 6

Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, fresh orange juice, lemon juice, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.

Step 8

Toast the sunflower seeds (optional) in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden and fragrant. Let them cool before sprinkling over the salad.

Step 9

Serve immediately or let the salad chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
