Curried Cauliflower Rice Salad

This salad is packed with warm, cozy flavors and comes together with minimal effort. Roasted cauliflower, curry spices, and a mix of chewy dried fruit make it both hearty and satisfying, while the tangy-sweet dressing pulls everything together.

It’s great on its own for lunch, but you can easily add some protein—like shredded chicken, chickpeas, or nuts—to make it a full meal. Serve it warm or cold, meal prep it for the week, or just toss it together when you need something quick and delicious. Either way, it’s a winner!
