Inspired by the vibrant Mediterranean Farro Salad, this salad enhances the mellow flavours of roasted cauliflower and chickpea, using a generous drizzle of Boombay’s Cashew + Mustard Dip & Spread as a dressing. The combination of roasted cauliflower, sweet red bell peppers, spiced chickpeas, and tangy lemon mustard dressing is a crowd favourite.
Chef's note:
Give your own touch to the recipe by using a different veggie in place of cauliflower. Roasted broccoli, roasted sweet potato or roasted brussels sprouts are some great alternatives to roasted cauliflower.
