The theme for the Gluten Free Menu swap this week is Cauliflower so I have a roasted cauliflower recipe on the menu. Sounds good, yes? The swap is hosted this week by Convivality [2]. And of course, I always love to post my menu plans with Org Junkie [3].

Ilva’s Raw Cauliflower Salad [4] (raw cauliflower I could actually go for)
By the Bay’s Herbed Cauliflower green bean salad [5] (look ma, no potatoes!)

*As part of my new vow to avoid excessively processed foods and evil ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, I’m introducing a new weekly feature to my menu plan- a featured salad dressing recipe! The salad dressing for last week was the super tasty spicy mustard vinaigrette that we enjoyed on a salad with marinated, baked portobello mushroom strips, avocado and grape tomatoes.. and here it is!
