Roasted Cauliflower And Chickpea Salad With The Avocado Dressing That Goes With Everything

I can’t stop making this salad at the moment. It ticks all the boxes, it’s hearty and satisfying but also tastes light and fresh which is quite a tricky feat to achieve. Also this dressing is a really good one to have in your repertoire - it’s seriously quick and easy to make and you can smother it on pretty much anything and it tastes delicious. This makes a lovely packed lunch and is easy to double the recipe so you can have it for supper and then have enough to take to work the next day.

Ingredients 

  • 400 g cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 x drained can of chickpeas
  • good slug of olive oil - approx 30ml
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • Sea salt and pepper
  • 4 radishes, sliced
  • Handful of rocket
  • 6 mint leaves, sliced
  • sprinkle of Nigella seeds
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced

For the dressing:

  • 1/2 avocado
  • juice of 1/2 lime
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tsp honey
  • salt and pepper

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 220c
  • Chop the cauliflower into florets and place in a baking tray. Drain the chickpeas and place them in a separate tray. Divide the spices between the two trays. Sprinkle generously with salt and a good glut of olive oil goes in too.
  • These both go into the hot oven for 20-25 mins until lovely and golden. Give them a shake half way through.
  • While they are cooking you can get on with the dressing. Place all the ingredients for the dressing into a blender and whizz until smooth.
  • Once the cauliflower and chickpeas are cooked, you can assemble the salad. Drizzle over a little of the dressing - you don’t want to drown it. Sprinkle over the rocket, radishes and sliced avocado. Finish the Nigella seeds.
  • Enjoy!
