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

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