Ingredients
  • ½ head of cauliflower, turned into 'rice' in the food processor*
  • 2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • juice half a lime
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 1 Tbs black sesame seeds + extra for sprinkle
  • 4 sheets nori
  • ½ avocado
  • 100g smoked salmon
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 10cm chunk grated cucumber
  • a few springs of coriander
  • tamari
Instructions
  1. Steam the cauliflower rice, drain and allow to cool off a little.
  2. Meanwhile combine the vinegar, sesame oil, honey, lime juice and salt. Pour over the cauliflower rice, stir well and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Toss through the sesame seeds and the spring onions. Taste and add extra salt if necessary.
  3. Now you can compose your salad. Place 2 nori sheets in a pasta-bowl at angles, and spoon in the ‘rice’. Dot over the avocado, the smoked salmon, and the radish, then sprinkle over the cucumber, coriander, and a few more sesame seeds.
  4. Finish with a drizzle of tamari at the table.
Notes
To make the cauliflower 'rice', chop your raw cauliflower into chunks, and blitz in a food processor until the pieces resemble tiny bits of rice.
