- Cut the cauliflower into smaller, bite-size pieces. Add the cauliflower to the buffalo sauce and stir to evenly coat. Using a slotted spoon, add the cauliflower to a baking sheet. Bake until browned in places, about 15-18 minutes. Reserve any remaining buffalo sauce. *I air fried mine and used half the buffalo sauce for lower fat
4. MAKE THE SALAD
- Trim and roughly chop the green leaf lettuce. Quarter the cherry tomatoes. Peel the carrot and shred with the largest side of the box grater. Trim and thinly slice the celery. Add the chopped lettuce, quartered tomatoes, shredded carrot, and sliced celery to a large bowl. Toss with just half the ranch dressing.
5. SERVE
- Divide the faro and salad between large bowls. Top with buffalo cauliflower. Drizzle with remaining ranch dressing and any remaining Buffalo Sauce. ** I omitted the extra buffalo sauce
