Curried Cauliflower Salad with Lentils and Grapes
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
1½ tablespoons The Olive Tap’s Maharajah Curry Powder
1 tablespoon green curry paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons homemade hummus using The Olive Tap’s Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar (customer favorite!)
Ground black pepper, to taste
5-6 cups arugula or greens of choice
1½ cups cooked lentils (about ½ cup dry lentils)
1½-2 cups red or green grapes, halved
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the cauliflower with the curry powder and 2 tablespoons water.
3. Spread the cauliflower on the prepared pan and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and tender.
4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the green curry paste, lemon juice, hummus, balsamic vinegar, and pepper until well combined.
5. To assemble the salad, place the greens in a wide bowl and top with the lentils and grapes and then the cauliflower. Pour dressing over the salad, show off how beautiful it looks, then toss and eat it up!
