If you've never tried raw cauliflower "rice'', you'll be astounded how delicious, fresh and healthy it is. The dates, preserved lemon, Sicilian olives, herbs and pistachios create incredible bursts of flavour. This salad is perfect alongside meat and fish but is just as wonderful as a stand-alone dish. This recipe is from Kelly Gibney and it appears in Bronwyn Kan's book Whole: Recipes for Simple Wholefood Eating. Check out more from Kelly on her blog bonniedelicious.com, and have a look at some of the other contributors here.
