The Perfect Fall Salad: Cauliflower, Chickpeas & Basil with Honey Tahini Dressing

I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’ve been craving Fall flavors for weeks now. It’s not that I’ve been wishing summer away – I most certainly enjoyed a lion’s share of fresh tomato sauce, summer salads like this cherry tomato couscous number or my summer’s bounty quinoa salad or my farmer’s market carrot salad – but my body just needs a little more savory and spice to usher in the new season.

Bring me the sweet butternut, the pumpkin spice lattes, the sweaters, the crisp mornings, the apples, the red wine, the soups, the humble chicken stews. Fall, I am ready for you!

Why I Love Cauliflower Salads

Let’s talk about how much I love cauliflower. There’s something about this cruciferous vegetable that is just so satisfying. When the right spices are applied, it is just as filling as a big, meat-filled dinner. It’s one of those stick to your ribs vegetables, and when I am trying to watch what I eat and enjoy more veggies, it’s my go to.

What’s more, this type of veggie – along with things like Brussel sprouts and broccoli – are proven to reduce our risk of cancer when we have several servings each week, according to Web MD.

That’s all of the endorsement I need to eat something delicious multiple times a week. No problem.

But how do you turn a head of cauliflower into a meal? You put it on a salad, as yours truly will show you below. Or you throw it in some tacos like the Modern Proper, or even a burrito rice bowl like Pinch of Yum. Brilliant!

Last winter, I adored these Cauliflower and Avocado Shawarma Wraps. My recipe for this cauliflower salad borrows several of the flavors of the wraps and puts them in a beautiful salad.

If the slightly spicy cauliflower and chickpeas weren’t enough already, the fresh herbs give the salad a little more personality. The sweet and tangy homemade tahini and honey dressing just make the whole thing break into an Hallelujah chorus.

Plus, the savory aromas that will fill your house will really make you look like you know what you are doing. Even the UPS delivery man will be totally impressed. Not that I know this from experience, but still, one can make assumptions.

Here’s my favorite fall salad, just for you, Fierce friend!

Description

intro

Ingredients

1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (I use California Olive Ranch!)

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

1 clove garlic, minced

kosher salt and black pepper (I used a pinch of Smoked Maldon Sea Salt Flakes here for a little extra savory note!)

5 cups Organic Girl Protein greens or crisp greens of your choice

2 cucumbers, peeled and sliced on the diagonal

juice of half a lemon

1/4 cup fresh herbs (whatever you have left in your garden – basil, dill, parsley, all would be delicious)

2 tablespoons fresh chopped chives

4 oz goat cheese, crumbled

2 avocados, sliced

Honey Tahini Vinaigrette

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 TBS honey

2 TBS dijon mustard

2 TBS tahini

2 TBS apple cider vinegar

juice of 1 lemon

kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425.

On a baking sheet, toss the cauliflower, chickpeas, oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic, and a salt and pepper. Toss well.

Roast for 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower starts to pick up a little golden-brown color. Once it comes out of the oven, squeeze the lemon all over it and toss. This needs to cool slightly so it doesn’t wilt the rest of the salad.

To make the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a mason jar and shake shake shake! Add salt and pepper to taste.

In a large pretty serving bowl, combine the greens of your choice, cucumber slices, and fresh herbs. Add the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas in with the salad. Add the avocado and feta cheese right on top.
