Ingredients

1 head - cauliflower
1 cup - dates
1 - red onion
2 cups - greens
1 tbsp - olive oil
3 tablespoons - Tahini
2 tablespoons - lemon juice
¼ tsp - salt
¼ tsp - black pepper
⅛ tsp - cumin
4–5 tablespoons - ice water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the cauliflower florets, chopped dates, and sliced red onion on the baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and toss to coat.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the roasted vegetables on a bed of the greens.
Drizzle the tahini sauce over the vegetables and serve immediately.
In a small mixing bowl, add the tahini, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cumin.
Stir them together. The mixture might become very thick or look "clumped" at first; this is normal.
Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly.
Continue adding water until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency (similar to a heavy cream or a thin yogurt).
