Roasted Cauliflower Salad

Cauliflower is a sensational vegetable to roast, transforming from bland and dry to sweet and juicy. When hot, it’s also a sponge for flavour which makes it a terrific ingredient for salads as it absorbs the flavour of dressings.Light enough to be a side dish alongside grand roasts, yet substantial and certainly interesting enough to have as a meal in itself. Best served on the day of making, but still very, very good the next day. Always serve at room temp, never fridge cold!
