Cauliflower Orange Salad with Cumin Lime Vinaigrette

Recipe: Cauliflower Orange Salad with Cumin Lime Vinaigrette

Peppery arugula serves as a bed for roasted cauliflower, juicy orange slices, hearty chickpeas, crunchy and buttery almonds, and refreshing mint. The earthiness of cumin and the tanginess of lime in the vinaigrette complement the rest of the salad ingredients.

Oranges are a great source of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis, and chickpeas are rich in protein, a beauty nutrient for healthy hair, skin, and nails.

 

Ingredients:

For the salad:
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of salt
1 5 oz bag arugula
2 oranges, sliced
1 15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped mint
2 tablespoons slivered almonds

For the cumin lime vinaigrette:
3 tablespoons lime juice
3⁄4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Pinch salt and pepper

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss cauliflower with olive oil and salt and place in one layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, until slightly browned.

In a large bowl, combine arugula, roasted cauliflower, sliced oranges, chickpeas, mint, and slivered almonds. In a dressing shaker, combine lime juice, cumin, olive oil, salt, and pepper and shake vigorously. Pour dressing over salad and mix until evenly distributed.
