Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Salad with Cumin Sumac Dressing #sumac #cumin #cauliflower #sweetpotato #vegan #salad #healthy #pomegranate #rainbow #lowfatYou know when you’re in love with a product and all of a sudden they decide to just stop selling it? That’s one of the most crippling feelings ever. I mean, I’m sure breaking both your knees at the same time is more crippling a feeling, but you know what I mean. The grocery store used to sell an awesome Vegan Eggplant, Freekeh and Sweet Potato salad tossed in a Cumin Sumac dressing. I was in love, and then subsequently heartbroken when they stopped selling it. Freaks. I figured I would only find solace in trying to recreate it at home, so I did. Instead of Freekeh, I lightened the recipe up by using some Roasted Cauliflower along with some Roasted Sweet Potato, Roasted Yellow Pepper, Spinach and Pomegranate arils. Everything is then tossed in an awesome Cumin Sumac Dressing (with a splash of Pomegranate Molasses – how trendy) and then devoured like a beast in under 10 minutes.

Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Salad with Cumin Sumac Dressing #sumac #cumin #cauliflower #sweetpotato #vegan #salad #healthy #pomegranate #rainbow #lowfatCall me unadventurous, but this was actually my first time making Roasted Cauliflower. I tend to avoid making things that are plastered all over the internet – especially when it comes to Cauliflower. You see, I’m not a very big fan of cauliflower. It stinks, it has no taste, and it’s just pathetic compared to Broccoli. Since everyone raves about Roasted Cauliflower, I figured, what the hell, I might as well try it because there’s no way I could hate it more than I already do. Well, surprise surprise, I actually ended up enjoying the Roasted Cauliflower, as ashamed as I am to admit it. Let’s stop talking about this now. The embarrassment is too much for me to handle.

This Roasted Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Salad with Cumin Sumac Dressing is Vegan, Terribly Good for you, Gluten Free, Low in Fat and full of zesty flavor, thanks to the use of Apple Cider Vinegar, Sumac and Pomegranate Molasses in the dressing. The addition of Pomegranate arils that burst with little bits of sweetness in your mouth really does compliment the hearty roasted veggies, if I have to say so myself. So with that said, enough talk, just scroll down for the recipe 🙂
