- 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic garlic clove, minced
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and chickpeas with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Spread the cauliflower and chickpea mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the tahini dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water, if necessary.
In a large serving bowl, combine mixed greens, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Add the roasted cauliflower and chickpeas to the salad and toss gently.
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the salad and sprinkle with feta cheese if using. Serve immediately.
