This beautiful, impressive-looking salad boasts the best of fall flavors, such as crisp apples, toasted pumpkin seeds, and spiced cauliflower. It makes for a wonderful light lunch or starter course. You can also add thin strips of grilled chicken for a heartier meal. If you cook the cauliflower in advance, and also make the dressing—which features olive oil, lime zest and juice, honey for a touch of sweetness, chopped shallots, and curry powder—ahead of time and store in the fridge, this salad comes together super fast. Be sure to keep all the other ingredients on hand for quick, weeknight meals.
