Bring this to your 4th of July party or a friend's BBQ, a potluck, a baptism, a play date, an anniversary, a birthday party, a beer bong tournament...

It's not picky (and it's certain to satisfy even the pickiest friends!)

Uh-oh, summer just got more delicious! Need something refreshing but to-die-for? I gotcha.

Have you ever heard me admit that salads are not usually my go-to?

I'm not very shy about that. I mean I'm never going to be found munching on some romaine when I could have something like this instead!

That's right! Since you know I am completely wacko about food, I had to make something for the summertime madness coming up to share with you!

That said, a lot of my friends have been asking for advice on salads this summer!

They're usually easy and versatile and are a pretty good bet to bring along with you somewhere you need to bring food for. So I made something that connects our senses to a familiar taste of bacon and mayo... Are you ready?

What you need:

---

• 2 cups vegan mayo (stay tuned for me to share my easy homemade recipe with you soon!)
• 2 heads steamed cauliflower (cut into small florets)
• 1/2 green bell pepper
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow bell pepper
• handful of red radishes (I used about 7)
• 1 bunch fresh coriander leaves
• 1/2 tbs pepper
• 1/2 tbs himalayan sea salt
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cayenne
  

What to do:

• First make your mayonnaise if you're creating it from scratch! I'll share my recipe with you soon in another post!
• Wash, cut, and steam the cauliflower
• Dice the radishes, bell peppers and coriander leaves into small pieces
• Mix the diced veggies up with the cauli and mayo

---

---

• Toss in the spices
• Mix, put in fridge for at least an hour for the best tasting version you'll ever try! (This is a trick my mom used to tell me!)

---

---

• Finally top with some vegan bacon! Don't be shy! SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE!
  (OK, twist my arm: in a sauce pan, add about 2 tbs coconut oil, 1 tbs cacao butter on LOW, throw in some coconut shreds, paprika, salt and liquid smoke or BBQ spice, keep stirring for about 3-5 minutes! TA-DA!)

This recipe is super easy and even more delicious than it looks!

Give it a try next time you need to bring a plate somewhere and smile knowing it's healthy as WELL as delicious!
