So I looked in the fridge and thought what the what am I going to eat for dinner.... hmm and this is what I came up with. I went a little overboard on the jalapeños so... I've toned it down for you a little bit here in this recipe. Even though it was scrumptious, it had quite the kick. Yours shouldn't have quite as much kick, and if you always want a little more, just up the anty!
Watch falling pieces on the floor if you have house pets. My pup, I think, scooped up a tiny bite off the floor. I'm almost positive because he proceeded to drink 2 bowls of water before I cut him off.. WHOOPS!
Serves: 6
Time: 10-15 minutes
Effort: Uber Easy
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower, organic of course
1/2 large red onion, organic of course
1-2 large roma tomatoes, organic- no surprise
1/2 jalapeño pepper (or go brave and go for the whole thing)
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2 cups cilantro, chopped
2-3 cups baby kale (I pulled this straight from the garden tonight!)
1/4-1/2 cup mint leaves
1 1/2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS red wine vinegar
1/2 TBS ume plum vinegar
1/2-1 tsp Himalayan sea salt
juice from 1/2 lemon
1. Soak cauliflower in a large bowl of salt water, head upside down. While cauliflower is soaking chop up the following: red onion (great advice on how to chop here), and tomatoes. Mince the garlic cloves. Put in large bowl.
2. Throw the jalapeño (1/2), cilantro, mint, kale in a food processor and chop until fine. Scoop out and dump in large bowl with onion, tomato, and garlic.
3. Rinse off the cauliflower, cut off leaves/stem, then cut into chunks. Throw this in the food processor until fine. Toss it in the large bowl with the rest.
4. Stir in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, ume plum vinegar, sea salt, and juice from lemon.
5. Mix it up and shazam, there's your side dish!
*note Ume Plum Vinegar has a lot of salt/sodium so you may just want to sprinkle salt to taste or skip the salt altogether.. You decide. I love the minerals from sea salt AND I used to have really really LOW blood pressure, so I salt it up, but really it is your preference!*
