Get your taste buds ready because we are going on a ride!
This is no exaggeration when I tell you this salad is so incredible! There are so many great ingredients that marry magically together and create a fresh burst of flavor! We are starting with a bed of green spring salad mix. Adding garbanzo beans brings a lovely buttery bite, and feta that adds tang with the perfect amount of saltiness.
This makes a fabulous lunch by itself or for dinner it pairs with chicken breast or grilled fish.
I am forever looking for ways to ramp up my greens and I really feel I did it with this one. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Let us get started.
Roasted Cauliflower Spring Salad
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower, sliced into thick "steak cuts"
- 1 orange bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil plus more
- spring mix salad
- 1 1/2 large lemons, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- 2 tbsp parsley, minced
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°
- On a baking sheet lay out the cauliflower and peppers. Drizzle with olive and a healthy sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until a knife will pierce through the thickest part of the cauliflower. The peppers will cook faster so about 4-5 minutes before the cauliflower is done remove the peppers.
- While the vegetables roast let's make the dressing
- In a bowl whisk the olive oil, lemon, garlic, dill, and 1 1/2 tbsp parsley. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper.Whisk well and set aside.
- Plate a heaping handful of spring mix on all the plates. Making them as even as possible, add a cauliflower steak to the center (add more if you desire) Top with bell pepper.
- Next is a scoop of the beans, followed by a sprinkle of feta cheese, green onions, then finished off with a pour of the dressing. I like to sprinkle a bit more parsley on top as well.
- ENJOY!
