Cauliflower & Pesto Salad

Bright, fresh, and oh-so-delicious. Cauliflower & cannellini beans are oven roasted and added to a loaded salad of green leaves, tomatoes, green beans, and crunchy sourdough croutons. All this veggie goodness is then doused in a pesto drizzle and garnished with fresh basil. Who said salad was a side? We think it’s the main attraction!
