    Curry Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad with Sweet Tahini Dressing

    Jun 14, 2022 by Faith VanderMolen

    Curry Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Salad with Sweet Tahini Dressing

      I crave this salad like it's dessert and I can't help but go back for seconds. Every. Time.   Usually salad aren't my first choice for a meal, but lately I've been experimenting more with toppings and dressings and they've started to grow on me. A while back I discovered this amazing Sweet Tahini Dressing from Happy. Healthy. Life and I've been drizzling it on everything. It's my favorite on roasted cauliflower and carrots!   Not long after I discovered the Sweet Tahini Dressing I came across a recipe for curry roasted cauliflower and knew that I would wanted to try both of them together. So I got to it. I added in chickpeas for some protein and crunch and the combination was just as I hoped: INCREDIBLE!

      Curry Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas (Serves 4)   Ingredients:  

    • 1 head cauliflower cut into florets
    • 2 cups (or 1 can) chickpeas, rinsed
    • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon curry powder
    • Salt and Pepper to taste

    Directions:

    • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
    • Prepare a baking tray with aluminum foil and set aside.
    • Place the cauliflower florets and chickpeas in a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil.
    • Shake the curry powder, salt and pepper overtop of the veggies and toss everything together so that the cauliflower and chickpeas get fully coated with the spices.
    • Pour the veggies on your prepared baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until fork tender.
