- 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped

Creamy Basil Avocado Dressing
- ½ avocado , skin and pit removed

- 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil and steak seasoning. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place in a large mixing bowl. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Add the chopped kale, raisins, diced apple and cashews to the bowl.
- Prepare the avocado dressing by adding all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Add the avocado dressing to the salad and toss to coat.
- Top the salad with the remaining diced avocado and fresh cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Montreal steak seasoning can be found near the salt and pepper at the grocery store. If you don’t have Montreal steak seasoning, simply season the cauliflower with 2 teaspoons coarse salt, 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried minced garlic and 1 teaspoon dried minced onion.
- One head of cauliflower will result in approximately 3 cups of diced cauliflower. I used two heads of cauliflower for this recipe.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can whisk the ingredients together to make the dressing. Lightly mash the avocado in a small bowl, add the other dressing ingredients, then whisk them all together.
- Traditional balsamic vinegar can be used instead of white balsamic vinegar. I simply use white balsamic to maintain the beautiful green color of the dressing. White balsamic vinegar can be found in most grocery stores next to the other vinegars.
