Spring Green Couscous Salad, Vegan

Spring Green Couscous Salad, Vegan

I love pasta salad. My Maa made a ton of it when I was little. It’s really easy to make and back in the 90’s when salad dressing mixes in the packet were popular, it was a really easy solution for a busy mom of 3. You can make it ahead of time, store it …

Honestly, this doesn’t need a fancy intro. You like cauliflower, I like cauliflower. We’re all screaming for… CAULIFLOWER. But! This ain’t no any old cauliflower rice or cauliflower wings.
