This amazing cauliflower salad calls for a bit of a twist.
You roast the cauliflower before adding the vinaigrette.
You won’t believe the difference it makes!
I love roasted cauliflower. Roasting the cauliflower gives it a totally different taste than boiling it. It’s rich and more full flavored.
Roasting the cauliflower with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and some thyme gives it wonderful flavor. Then you add a really delicious vinaigrette that marinates the roasted cauliflower with lemon, wine vinegar and Dijon mustard. Add a few chopped chives and you have a fabulous vegetable salad.
I really think that once you try it, this cauliflower salad will be as much a favorite of yours as it is mine.
Roasting the cauliflower gives it a rich nutty flavor and the dressing you add is both tart and savory with a little bit of mustard and herbs.
Cauliflower is a very healthy vegetable to eat. It is part of the same family of foods as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. To find information about why these vegetables should be part of your diet often look here.
This is a very healthy recipe. You can even omit the little bit of honey if you prefer, but it is still healthy with it included.
