Herby Cauliflower Salad with Chickpeas
I love to make this Herby Cauliflower Salad with Chickpeas in summertime to accompany some fish or grilled chicken. It has a fresh lemon dressing and the chickpeas add a filling element. The star of the show however is the cauliflower – uncooked and tender, it tastes amazing when combined with the other salad ingredients.
I start by placing the cauliflower florets in a bowl. Then I season the florets and make a dressing. When I combine the salad I like to use a combination of fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or mint. This salad improves the longer it marinates. When possible, leave the salad marinate before serving. Stir occasionally for about 30 minutes before serving. This salad will keep for up to one week once covered in the refrigerator.
To make my version of Herby Cauliflower Salad with Chickpeas, you will need the following ingredients:
