Step 1

Start by mixing the riced cauliflower, chopped tomato, cucumber, carrots, celery, onion, cilantro, and almonds in a big bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, maple syrup, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined. Pour the dressing over the veggie mixture, then give it a good toss so all the flavors come together. Finish by sprinkling a bit more cilantro on top before serving.

Cook's tip

- Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces for the best texture.
- Chop the veggies evenly so every bite has a nice balance of flavors.
- Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
