Carrot, Cabbage and Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Raisins
Description
The Carrot, Cabbage and Roasted Cauliflower Salad combines raw shredded napa cabbage and carrot ribbons with roasted cauliflower florets, sweet raisins, and crunchy pepitas. The assembly layers each ingredient in jars starting with a creamy buttermilk-based dressing at the bottom, which gradually coats the ingredients as it sits. This method keeps the cabbage crisp while allowing flavors to meld over refrigeration.
The roasted cauliflower contributes a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and tender texture contrasting the fresh cabbage and crisp pepitas. Raisins add bursts of concentrated sweetness balancing savory and creamy elements.
Prepared individually in jars, this salad stores well for up to five days, making it convenient for advance preparation and portion control.
