Cauliflower Is a Worthy Stand-In for Chicken in This Salad
This is a salad that can easily be make into a sandwich and beyond.
Remember that cauliflower, broccoli, Broccolini and Romanesco are all cousins, so feel free to use a mix or focus on one. Too often we use only the pretty florets when working with these healthy brassicas, overlooking the core and stems. Viktorija Puke/Dreamstime/TNS
Inspired by my mom’s best chicken salad recipes (the star of many wedding and baby showers), this recipe subs out chicken for cauliflower. When sheet-pan roasted to become tender and slightly sweet, the cauliflower soaks up the salad’s ingredients—crisp apples, tart-sweet dried cranberries, and curried mayo-yogurt dressing, tangy with lime.
