Shaved Cauliflower Salad

Vegan MoFo Recipe #1

I really love this salad.  It's so unexpected.  Who would think that shaved cauliflower with make an amazing tasty base for a salad.  The hubs is also a bit obsessed with this salad, we have made it three times in the last two weeks and we can get enough.  The dates are what make the dressing nice and sweet and really very different, so please don't omit them.  

Cauliflower:

Normally I like to eat the rainbow.  But cauliflower is the one white vegetable that is great for you.  Cauliflower is high in thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), and folic acid (B9).  It is also a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and phosphorus.  It has been shown to have anti-cancer properties and is beneficial in decreasing inflammation in the body.  So basically it's awesome!
