Warm Fennel and Cauliflower Salad

As the temperature decreases in Australia, so to does our desire for salads and smoothies. This Warm Cauliflower and Fennel Salad is the perfect way to make the transition to warmer meals, and ensure you are also eating seasonally. This recipe is designed for one and requires the addition of protein – I love mine with a crispy skin salmon fillet for a simple and nourishing mid-week meal.
