Roasted Cauliflower Grape Salad has a little of everything – salty, smoky and sweet. Such a unique combination of ingredients creates a melodious harmony of flavor.

 

Cauliflower Grape Salad

With summer approaching, comes the re-appearance of salad in every possible combination of ingredients. As I continue to discover Yotam Otollenghi with the I Heart Cooking Club, this cauliflower salad with grapes and cheese piqued my interest. So here’s my take on his salad recipe here. I only made a few minor adjustments based on what I had on hand – exchanging pine nuts for hazelnuts, red wine vinegar for sherry vinegar and cilantro for parsley.

Cauliflower is also considered as a poorly regarded step child. It’s always the last thing left on a crudite platter. Here are some other delicious ways you might want to try enjoying this delicious and healthy vegetable.

  1. More and more I'm finding that YO has a real talent for combining interesting and exciting textures and flavors. This salad is a great example. Sweet, sour, crunchy, chewy, soft. A lot of good going on here!

  2. You know? I thought the grapes and cauliflower combination rather odd until I saw your wonderful sweet/sour dressing for the salad … what a beautiful way to meld both fruit and vegetable together for a total dish! Great choice this week!

  3. I'm not sure I've ever had a cauliflower salad, but I must admit I love the idea! I think this one looks so colorful and pretty and I love all the different textures (with the pine nuts and all). Looks fun and delicious!!

  4. OMG – totally my kind of salad, and I would definitely make a main meal of this. It's coming into winter now in my part of the world, and even though the days are cooler I still love to eat these kinds of salads. Something a bit more substantial than a "leafy greens" kind of salad, and I love the contrast in textures and tastes with the nutty roasted cauliflower and the sweet tender grapes. Apart from a few grapes I have everything I need to make this salad right now, so I think this is definitely on the menu this week. Thanks for sharing it.
