Ingredients
makes 4 servings
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, trimmed, cut into small florets (about 3 cups)
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 (15-ounce) can white beans, drained
- 1 bag of chopped green lettuce
- 1/2 cup chopped carrots
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)
- 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Dressing:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cauliflower florets with 3 tablespoons olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until edges are dark and caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice.
While cauliflower is roasting, combine remaining 1/3 cup olive oil and rosemary in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Cool.
Whisk lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper in small bowl. Combine roasted, still warm cauliflower (can also be served cold), beans, carrots, celery, walnuts and rosemary oil in medium bowl; toss. Mix in cheese. Add lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Season salad with salt and pepper.
