Ingredients

• 1 head (medium) Cauliflower
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Golden raisins
• 0.5 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 3 stalks, sliced Green onions
• 0.25 cup, diced Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the cauliflower with olive oil, and sprinkle with ground turmeric, curry powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned cauliflower florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the dressing by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, and water in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.

Step 6

Once the cauliflower is done roasting, allow it to cool slightly before assembling the salad.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, golden raisins, cilantro, green onions, and red onion.

Step 8

Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring the cauliflower is evenly coated.

Step 9

Serve the curried cauliflower salad slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
