DIRECTIONS

Chop the head of cauliflower into smaller pieces then add into a food processor and chop until cauliflower has a rice-like consistency. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower “rice” with the carrots, pepitas, and dried cranberries. In a separate bowl, make dressing by mixing the vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper. Once well mixed, pour dressing over cauliflower mix and combine until well incorporated.
