Chunky Roasted Cauliflower with Capers and Raisins Dressing
"I know this chunky roasted cauliflower sounds like an interesting recipe, especially the dressing. You will soon find out and see exactly what I mean. It is a great way of incorporating capers into a dish. This chunky roasted cauliflower contains a vinaigrette made from super healthy ingredients like honey, capers, cider vinegar and raisins. A perfect combination to make this cauliflower side dish a delicious one. Lets get this cauliflower ready as I know you can no longer wait for it, if you didnt jumped to recipe already!"
NotesSome tips here would be to use :
agave or maple syrup instead of honey;
cider vinegar instead of sherry vinegar;
cranberries to replace the raisins;
I have also used dried cherries in the past and they are absolutely gorgeous, you might just have to chop them slightly as they are generally bigger than the raisins or the cranberries; pine nuts can also be replaced with walnuts, cashews or pistachios- all toasted and roughly chopped;
leave the pine nuts out completely of any nut allergies.
the avocado oil can, of course, be replaced with olive oil or any other oil you have including coconut oil. Other serving suggestions&
We have had this with fish as a side dish and some couscous;
can be served over quinoa and makes an absolutely wonderful vegan yummy meal;
Use this as a side dish for the Christmas dinner it goes fabulously with turkey or any other meat;
We have even had this mixed with orzo pasta, it was wonderful!
If you dont like capers you could leave them out but I suggest you use any pickled stuff such as beetroots or any dill pickled cucumbers.
