Golden Cauliflower & Kale Salad

I just had a workshop this weekend at Tendercrop Farm. We talked about how to reset your body in a simple way. Rather than over complicating things, or going gung-ho on a juice cleanse, we discussed *gentle* ways to support your body when it's feeling a bit overburdened.

Here are a few ways you can begin to reset your body and energy, anytime, starting today!

• dance until you break a sweat
• eat leafy greens
• start your day with warm lemon water
• eat light to heavy
• fast for 12 hrs overnight
• try deep breathing or meditate
• eat simple foods

Eat greens, eat simple --> This salad is super simple and incredibly delicious! The tahini dressing is my go-to dressing for roasted veggies, salads, and bowls. I hope you enjoy it!

Roast the cauliflower: Toss ingredients together then spread out on a baking sheet and roast for 25-35 mins or until cauliflower is tender and browned.

Massage the kale: Use your hands to massage the kale, olive oil, lemon/vinegar, and salt for 1-2 minutes to soften.

Make the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk the ingredients together. Add water until desired consistency is reached.

Assemble the salad: Serve with kale as the base, topped with cauliflower, onion and sunflower seeds, then drizzle with the dressing. This recipe works great for meal prep.
