Italian Roasted Cauliflower Salad
Yields 4 servings Dairy
Gluten-Free Low Carb Sugar-Free
INGREDIENTS
12 oz fresh cauliflower florets
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
8 oz (1 head or bag)
chopped Romaine lettuce
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
½ bell pepper, diced
1½ oz light feta cheese, crumbled
1 Tbsp capers
HERB VINAIGRETTE
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp fresh minced basil
(or 3 frozen cubes)
1 Tbsp fresh minced parsley
(or 3 frozen cubes)
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp salt
pinch coarse black pepper
1 garlic clove, crushed
½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp olive oil
[1] Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; coat with nonstick cooking
spray.
[2] Spread cauliflower florets on baking sheet; sprinkle with basil, oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.
[3] In a large bowl, toss together lettuce, cauliflower, tomatoes, pepper, feta cheese, and capers.
[4] Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients.
[5] Toss salad with dressing before serving.
[Good To Know] I use capers here for that briny, Italian-inspired flavor without the calories
of olives. I’ll dress up this salad for company by adding some gourmet olives.
Shani Says Why share? Enjoy the entire salad as a meal.
What's your favorite brunch dish and which one will you be enjoying on Mother's Day?
