To make this salad, start by roasting the cauliflower. Brush the cauliflower with a mixture of harissa paste and olive oil and roast for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, make the candied walnuts. Once the cauliflower is tender and charred in spots, assemble the salad. Spread the beet dip over the serving platter and arrange the cauliflower steaks on top. Dollop with yogurt and scatter the walnuts, parsley leaves, and marinated feta over. Finish it off with a little extra harissa and a drizzle of the reserved oil from the feta. Enjoy!
To make the Harissa-Roasted Cauliflower, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the cauliflower into ⅔-inch thick slices and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Combine 1 tablespoon harissa and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small bowl. Brush the harissa mixture over the cauliflower and season with salt to taste.
Roast the cauliflower for 45 minutes or until tender and just starting to char.
In a pan over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and add ⅓ cup walnuts. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and 2 teaspoons sugar and cook, tossing, until the sugar starts to caramelize. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Spread 8 ounces beet dip over a large serving platter. Arrange the cauliflower slices and dollop with 8 ounces Greek yogurt. Scatter the candied walnuts, ⅓ cup parsley, and 3 ounces marinated feta over the salad. Top the feta with some extra harissa.
To serve, drizzle some of the reserved oil from the feta on top of the salad and enjoy.
