At long last, it’s Spring! I love making this raw Shaved Vegetable Spring Salad to celebrate the season’s flavors. The crunchiness of the raw asparagus, shaved radishes and carrots beautifully complements the fluffy riced cauliflower and creamy avocado. The mint and fresh lemon vinaigrette really tie the dish all together and make it pop.

For this Spring Salad you’ll need:

  • spring radishes (e.g.Purple Plum or Cherry Belle), can substitute any radish variety
  • asparagus
  • carrots
  • avocado
  • cauliflower
  • fresh mint
  • lemon, olive oil, garlic and maple syrup for the vinaigrette

Shaved Vegetable Spring Salad FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, these hearty spring vegetables hold up well when prepared a couple hours in advance. I would save dicing the avocado until you’re ready to serve and of course, don’t dress the salad until you’re ready to serve as well.

Does this recipe store well?

With the exception of the cubed avocado, this salad keeps well in the fridge. I like to toss and dress only what I will be eating and store the remaining undressed salad in the fridge for up to two days.

What can you serve this with?

This fresh salad goes really well with a variety of meats including these Beef Meatballs, these Baked Chicken Thighs with Apples as well as with fish like this Baked Salmon.
