A cauliflower salad deserves a spot on any entertaining table. From recipes for cauliflower salad that calls for the jewel-like adornment of pomegranate arils to roasted cauliflower salad drizzled with a zingy, garlicky sauce, cauliflower salads impress on all occasions. Raw, roasted or finely grated, cauliflower finds its place tossed in a salad.
We love the fine texture of the white vegetable when it’s mixed through a quinoa salad, or roasted with a ginger-soy dressing and served in a nourishing bowl of silken tofu and walnut rice. For a pop of colour, you can’t go past the turmeric-roasted cauliflower with almonds.
Our collection of best cauliflower salad recipes covers fast salad recipes that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as our roasted cauliflower salad with yoghurt dressing and our freekeh and shaved cauliflower salad with fresh herb salad dressing. We also have cauliflower salad recipes for flavourful midweek dinners that will make you forget the bland and boiled versions from your childhood. Really, what can’t a cauliflower salad do?
