Cauliflower salad with tahini and onions recipe

Cauliflower salad with tahini and onions recipe

Cauliflower has gained a good reputation as a healthy ingredient recently due to its high levels of vitamins C, K, B2, B1, B6 and fatty acids.

Joudie says: "Here is a super simple and quick recipe that I used to make in my restaurant, Baity Kitchen. It will most certainly be a head turner for those who normally shy away from such vegetables."

Step-by-step

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C fan (220°C electric/425°F/Gas 7). Put the cauliflower florets on a baking tray. Pour over the oil and scatter over half the onions, the za'atar and a sprinkle of salt and mix so that it is all coated. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
  2. When the cauliflower has cooked and charred, remove the tray from the oven and add the rocket, olives, tomatoes and sliced chilli and mix together.
  3. To make the dressing, mix the tahini, yogurt and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Add the salt and a little water if you need more liquid – you are aiming for the consistency of double cream. Once you have a nice tangy flavour that you are happy with, drizzle the dressing over the top of the cauliflower salad and serve warm.
