rice salad

with cauliflower and cherries

When we read that cauliflower was chosen as an IT-vegetable, we can only smile, because cauliflower was never in or out for us, but always part of our diet. But it is all the more gratifying that more and more people are discovering vegetables and their diversity.

In this recipe we complement the cauliflower florets with brown rice, cherries, onions and lots of fresh herbs from the garden or the window sill. A summer must-have of a special kind!

• 1 tsp honey

• herbs (chives, parsley, basil, thyme, sage, oregano, rosemary…)

Preparation:

• Divide cauliflower into florets, wash thoroughly and steam gently

• Cook brown rice according to the package instructions
