Notes

  • Look for white cauliflower and free from dark or brown spots.
  • For best results, use fresh cauliflower and not frozen. Frozen cauliflower has a higher water content and can become mushy when cooked. Fresh cauliflower has a firmer texture and retains its shape when roasted.
  • Instead of using a knife to chop the cauliflower, break it apart naturally at the stems - using your hands.
  • The cauliflower should be cooked until tender. For best results, pierce with a fork to test.
  • Make the dressing ahead and keep it refrigerated. Shake and use when ready to serve.
