Raw Cauliflower Salad with Apples

Here is the salad recipe that was a great success at the workshop. I promised I would give it to you as soon as possible. I brought it more for the tasting, as a bonus. It was the surprise of the day considering how much appreciation it received. It's a salad with cauliflower, apples and walnuts. It can be more hearty, if you make it with sour cream / mayonnaise or lighter, if you use creamier yogurt for the sauce. The source recipe was with raw broccoli, but that was rather hard to chew. My husband suggested that I replace it with cauliflower, which is more tender. It was a super good idea, so I used cauliflower as the basic ingredient and only about two broccoli florets for the color.
