1 bottle Vegan Buffalo Sauce I used New Primal Vegan Buffalo Sauce (medium)

SALAD INGREDIENTS

1 red onion cut into slivers; I used my [Simple Rosemary Infused Pickled Red Onions], but regular red onions are fine

1 English cucumber chopped
1 cup chopped purple cabbage

Instructions

Place all ingredients except dill and parsley in a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth.

It lasts one week in the refrigerator......if it lasts that long.

Make the buffalo cauliflower bites according to the buffalo cauliflower recipe.

Assembling the Salad

Place lettuce and other salad ingredients in a large bowl or plate.
Add pieces of buffalo cauliflower on top
Dress with ranch dressing or vegan blue cheese

Notes

To make the best use of your time, prepare and cook the buffalo cauliflower while chopping the vegetables for the salad.

Make the dressing first and refrigerate it, so it gets cold and thickens.

If you don't like buffalo sauce, use barbeque sauce instead. Or, choose your favorite sauce for tossing the cauliflower before adding it to the salad.

Do not add the cooked cauliflower until right before serving.

Keep the cooked cauliflower and salad ingredients separate for leftovers, so the cauliflower can be reheated and maintains its crunchiness.
