Start by thoroughly cleaning the celery. I take time to remove the strings for the best texture, though thin slicing makes them unnoticeable. Peel and cube the apples, then toss everything together with the cauliflower rice and cheese. Your salad base is ready.
Tip: Customize with cashew nuts, mandarin segments, or marinated grilled chicken for a complete meal salad—all variations are equally delicious!
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and mix well. Pour over the salad, toss gently, and enjoy this nutritious, fresh, super-healthy dish. Even our kids enjoy it occasionally.
