Baked Cauliflower and Herb Salad

26/10/2015 by Gina Leave a Comment

This salad is beautiful just as it is, but if you wish to jazz it up a little, consider sprinkling other flavours on top before serving: freshly chopped coriander, freshly sliced chilli, roasted pistachios, crumbled pan fried pancetta, prosciutto or cabanossi … yum!  Or you can try my favourite … a decent sprinkling of Spiced Nuts (see here).

Start with two decent cauliflowers
Wash and spin dry
In baking sheet and dressed with olive oil
Garlic and herbs to be chopped
All done and ready to add to baked cauliflower
Herbs and cauliflower tossed together
Cauliflower dressed, seasoned and ready to serve
… or consider adding some toppings
… but my favourite is Spiced Nuts which can be found on this site
