Everything you need to make this cauliflower quinoa salad<\/h2>\n

This simple and tasty cauliflower quinoa salad recipe has has everything a well-rounded salad needs \u2014 veggies, a grain, nuts for crunch, a bright dressing, and a little cheese. Here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to make it:<\/p>\n

For the vegetables:<\/strong> cauliflower is spiced with cumin, coriander and salt & pepper and roasted in the oven to bring out its best flavor. Arugula adds a little peppery bite to this salad. It could easily be traded out for fresh herbs, like a mix of parsley, mint and cilantro.<\/p>\n

For the grain:<\/strong> we are using a gluten-free pseudo grain for this salad \u2014 quinoa. I love it for its slightly nutty taste and unique texture. Feel free to use white quinoa or tri-color.<\/p>\n

For the add-ins:<\/strong> toss this salad together with toasted almonds for crunch, pomegranate seeds for their sweet-tart flavor and pleasant crunch, and feta for a tangy, salty taste and creamy texture.<\/p>\n

For the dressing:<\/strong> in all its simplicity, lemon and olive oil let the other ingredients shine. Of course, you could spice things up with a little garlic or finely diced shallot. Maybe even a pinch of cayenne.<\/p>\n
