Cauliflower Salad with Creamy Herb Dressing

How many of you are fans of good old ranch dressing?  Ranch is engrained in our culture like cheeseburgers and ice cream, but it’s horrible for us 🙁  Have you ever read the label on the Hidden Valley bottle…disgusting!  If you’re having a hard time giving up your store bought dressings, this recipe is for you.  Along with the delicious fresh herby dressing, you also get my easy recipe for a fresh and light cauliflower salad.  I love this for an make ahead lunch or a dinner side.  Adding in plant based protein along with the greek yogurt makes this a balanced meal in a bowl for my plant-based eaters!
