Raw cauliflower makes a delicious addition to salads, it’s crisp and crunchy and has a slight mustardy flavour. The colours of this cauliflower and radish salad with strips of yellow pepper and mixed leaves make it look very appealing, and the addition of chickpeas make it filling and satisfying too. It goes really well with a soured cream and chive dressing but if you’re following a dairy-free diet you can use an oat based or soya cream alternative with the addition of lemon juice or use some mayonnaise (most ready-made mayonnaise is dairy-free) with a squeeze of lemon juice.
