I have a thing for salads. Maybe it’s because when a restaurant serves a salad it’s usually the first sign that I might be able to eat there. Salads are a sign of hope.

Because I live in AZ, salads are also one of the only viable meal options you have in the summer. Even the thought of turning on your oven makes you sweat from about May until October. That leaves you with salads and sandwiches. When you eat Paleo, it means you’re left with salads and lettuce wrap sandwiches, which are just slightly more organized salads.

I’m stocking up on salad ideas in preparation for the dreaded summer 2019, and this is pretty high on the list of new go-tos. Why? The cauliflower. Roasted turmeric cauliflower is truly amazing. If you’ve been living in caulirice world, it’s time to resurface and eat a whole cauliflower floret for once. This stuff is da bomb. Enjoy!
