Best Potato Chickpea Cauliflower Salad With Tahini Dressing Recipes

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH LEMON TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Chop the cauliflower into small florets and place them on a large baking sheet. Slice the red onion into 1/4-inch strips and place them on the baking sheet. Drizzle the cauliflower and onions with olive oil and season with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Toss the cauliflower and onions until coated in oil, salt, and pepper.
• Roast the cauliflower and onions in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then stir, return them to the oven, and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and browned on the edges. Let the cauliflower cool slightly.
• While the cauliflower and onions are roasting, make the lemon tahini dressing. Add the tahini, water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Drain and rinse the can of chickpeas. Add them to a skillet along with the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir and cook the chickpeas over medium heat for about five minutes, or until they sizzle and become slightly crispy. Remove the chickpeas from the heat.
• Pull the parsley leaves from their stems and roughly chop the leaves into small pieces (about 1.5 cups loosely packed, once chopped).
• To build the salad, combine the roasted cauliflower and onions in a bowl with the spiced chickpeas and chopped parsley. Drizzle the lemon tahini dressing over top, and toss to combine. Serve warm or cold.

POTATO, CHICKPEA, & CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH TAHINI DRESSING

Steps:

• Bring two medium pots of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add potatoes to one pot and simmer until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
• In the second pot, simmer chickpeas with bay leaves until warm, 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chickpeas to a colander, and toss dry. (Keep water in pot at a simmer.) In a large bowl, season chickpeas with salt, lemon juice and a drizzle of oil.
• Drain and halve potatoes. Season with salt, a drizzle of oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Add cauliflower to pot used for chickpeas and simmer until al dente, 3-5 minutes. Strain, toss dry and add to bowl with chickpeas.
• Make the dressing: In a blender, pulse turmeric, tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, coriander, vinegar and water to combine. With motor running, slowly pour in ¼ cup oil to emulsify.
