Since last 3 weeks I've been trying out making salads with different kind of veggies. The motivation is to consume season raw vegetables and fruits; and trying to get the most out of them in terms of nutrition.

Today I am going to give u a salad recipe that I invented up. Some of u may know "Cucina Bianca', it is basically art of preparing good food out of simple ingredients. I was inspired about that fact for todays recipe.

I bought cauliflowers last time when  I visited the Sunday market. When the market man was preparing to cut its leaves and roots and I told it him that I was buying it especially for its thick stems; and he admitted that he  also like that part :)

So the main item of the salad is cauliflowers stems.

- stems of a cauliflower
- a white onion
- a red onion
- an avocado
- olive oil
- "nar ekşisi" a sour sauce made from pomegranate
- fresh lemon juice
- sumac
- salt
- ginger powder

Preparation: Peel out the cauliflower leaves from its stems and wash them carefully Cut the stems and onions in small cubes and mix them with a tea spoon of salt and ginger powder. Add adequate amount of olive oil and lemon juice, I leave that part to ur preference. Add a table spoon of sumac and "nar ekşisi" and again mix them all. Finally add the avocado cut in larger cubes with a final gentle mix. You are done ;)

You can enjoy the salad with fish dishes accompanied with white wine or Syrah
