ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH SMOKED ALMONDS & VEGAN SOUR CREAM DRESSING

This is going to be short and sweet! Last night I was making a last minute quick meal and looked to see what needed using. I found a cauliflower and 1/2 cup each of my homemade mayo and some Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream that I had bought for another recipe, as well as some green onions and parsley. Loving roasted cauliflower as I do, here is what I did with it (and it was delicious!):

Printab2le Recipe

BRYANNA'S ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH SMOKED ALMONDS & VEGAN SOUR CREAM DRESSING

Serves 4

1 large head cauliflower

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup chopped green onions (white and green)

1/2 cup hickory-smoked almonds, roughly-chopped

1/2 cup fresh parsley, roughly-chopped

VEGAN SOUR CREAM DRESSING:

1/2 cup vegan sour cream (such as Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream, or you could try a homemade version, such as this cashew version, or this tofu version.)

1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise (preferably a low-fat version, such as my Tofu Mayo or my Eggless Low-Fat Mayo, or Reduced-Fat Vegenaise or Spectrum Naturals Eggless, Vegan Light Canola Mayonnaise )

1 1/2 tablespoons grainy Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat the oven to 400°F. Clean and trim the cauliflower and cut or slice into small (2-ite) piece. Distribute evenly in one layer in a large shallow roasting pan and toss with the olive oil and a bit of salt. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the pieces are a bit browned and tender, but not falling apart.

While the cauliflower roasts, chop the parsley, almonds and green onions and set aside, and make the dressing.

To make the dressing, simply whisk together the ingredients until smooth.

When the cauliflower is done, let it cool slightly, then mix gently with the dressing and other ingredients. Serve at room temperature.
