Looking for a little shake-up in your lunch routine? These salads could be the answer. The ingredient quantities listed below will make five pint-jar-sized salads.

This version, made with cauliflower, offers higher fiber and more nutrients than the potato original. And they are baked, not fried. So if you’ve got a bag a cauliflower rice in the freezer are looking for something new to do with it, here you go!
