Orange and cauliflower salad, it may seem like a fresh and summery dish, but I must say that it is also delightful in February during the cold with a nice orange and cauliflower salad. Cabbages are perfect for hearty and tasty dishes, ideal for winter like whole cauliflower or florets allow us to cook it in many ways and it is also delicious raw in a salad. Raw, cauliflower can be seasoned together with the oranges, and you can also add nuts like walnuts or toasted hazelnuts.

Steps to Prepare the Orange and Cauliflower Salad
For this dish, no cooking is required but everything is cold and seasonal. Peel the oranges raw, divide the slices and then cut each slice into four parts and remove the seeds. After washing the heart of the celery, cut it into small slices. Similarly, after washing and drying the cauliflower, cut it into small pieces. In a small bowl, emulsify the extra virgin olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, salt, and finely chopped chives; I use scissors for convenience, mix for a few minutes. Now that everything is ready, assemble the ingredients with the seasoning. Place the oranges, the cauliflower with the celery alternating them, in a large bowl, season them with the tasty emulsion. Toss and divide into serving dishes.
