This Cauliflower Avocado Lentil Salad is a light and refreshing dish that's perfect for a summer meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's easy to make.
This salad was inspired by a trip I took to the Middle East. I was particularly impressed by the use of cauliflower in salads. Cauliflower is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes, and it's a great source of fiber and vitamins. I wanted to create a salad that was both healthy and flavorful, and this salad is the result.
