Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad

Here is another amazing raw recipe that takes minutes to prepare but tastes incredible. The sweet of the balsamic vinegar with the tang of the apple cider vinegar... it just works! Here's the recipe. Click on pic to enlarge.

Salad
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower diced or processed in food processor (remove anything that isn't white)
  • 3/4 Cup chopped yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 Cup finely chopped parsley
  • 1/2 Cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 3 sprigs of diced mint leaves (remove leaves from stems, discard stems)
  • 1/2 Cup sliced Kalamata olives
  • 4 chopped green onions (include the green tops)
  • Combine above ingredients. Set aside.

Dressing

  • 3 tsp. apple cider vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tsp. dill
Taste dressing before combining with the salad to be sure it has the sweet/sour to your liking. I found that because my cauliflower head was a little on the big side, I needed to add a little more apple cider vinegar to make it a little more sour. If you like your dressing to be a little more sweet, add a pinch more balsamic vinegar. All the dressing measurements should be adjusted to taste. Combine dressing and cauliflower mixture. Serve.

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
