Cauliflower, White Bean, Endive & Feta Salad

Spring is upon us here in Northern California and the change in season has us craving fresh, simple meals. Cauliflower seems to be popping up just about everywhere lately and we are here to proudly jump on the bandwagon and share one of our favorite new salads - Cauliflower, White Bean, Endive & Feta Salad. This meal makes a great main or side dish and keeps well for leftover lunches since the dressing is not very heavy. Cheers to spring-time eating!
