Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup slivered almonds
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the cauliflower in the oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Meanwhile, prepare the salad ingredients. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and set them aside with the arugula.
Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, arugula, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and toasted almonds. Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine.
Top the salad with crumbled feta cheese and serve immediately. Enjoy!
