Instructions

  1. For the charmoula dressing: In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic, chili, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
  2. Fold in the cilantro and set aside.
  3. For the cauliflower salad: Core the cauliflower and separate into florets. Starting at the stem end, slice florets into ¼"-thick pieces. Place cauliflower in a large bowl. Add carrots and raisins, and fold to combine.
  4. Drizzle the charmoula dressing over the top and fold to combine. Fold in arugula. Taste and sprinkle with additional kosher salt, if needed.
  5. Turn salad out onto a serving platter and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, followed by the feta. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • This salad makes great leftovers, except for the arugula. If you don't think you'll eat all of the salad on the same day you make this, only add arugula to what you think you'll eat that same day. When ready to eat the cauliflower salad the following day, simply fold arugula into the salad right before eating. Or serve the cauliflower salad directly over a bed of arugula.
