I love crunchy and healthy salads like this cauliflower salad, which shines with lamb’s lettuce, peppers, cucumber and lime dressing. The cauliflower remains raw in this delicious low-carb salad, providing an extra portion of vitamins. If you want to save a few carbohydrates or just fancy a healthy salad, then definitely give this quick and easy recipe a try.
Raw cauliflower salad
Did you know you don’t have to cook cauliflower? The crunchy florets are full of vitamins, which cook away the longer they eat. That’s why they can also be eaten raw. I love the crunchy cauliflower florets in combination with fresh salad ingredients such as lamb’s lettuce and peppers and a fresh dressing.
If you don’t want to eat the cauliflower raw, you can of course blanch it briefly in boiling water. This is what I did with my broccoli salad.

These ingredients go into the salad with cauliflower
Cauliflower salad tastes delicious as a grill side dish, as a light main meal on warm days or as a healthy ingredient on the party buffet. But the crunchy cauliflower salad is also a good choice as a side dish with my oven-baked meatballs or crispy rosemary potatoes. The healthy vitamin bomb contains all sorts of crunchy vegetables that simply harmonize perfectly with each other.
- Cauliflower
- Lamb’s lettuce
- paprika
- Spring onions
- Cucumber
- avocado
For the salad I made a dressing made from olive oil, maple syrup and freshly squeezed lime juice. It tastes wonderfully fresh. Instead of the lime dressing, my tangy lemon dressing also works.
The low-carb cauliflower salad is that easy to make
- Prepare vegetables
First comes some chopping work 🙂 Wash the cauliflower well and divide it into small florets. Then wash the lamb’s lettuce and cut the peppers into strips. Then cut the spring onions into rings and the cucumber into slices. Now cut the flesh of the avocado into small pieces. - Roast nuts
Then roast the cashews in a pan without any fat. - Mix the dressing
Now it’s time to prepare the dressing. To do this, squeeze the lime and then mix all the ingredients together.
Finally, mix the salad ingredients with the dressing in a bowl and serve the finished salad with cashew nuts.
Tip for all meal prep fans: If you want to prepare the cauliflower salad for your lunch break, simply take the dressing separately and mix it with the fresh ingredients before eating. Cut the avocado into small pieces and add it to the salad shortly before eating, otherwise it will become mushy.
