Roasted Cauliflower Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas (15 ounces), rinsed and patted dry

  • 1/4 cup pine nuts or sliced almonds

  • 1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt

  • 1 clove garlic, grated or finely chopped

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin (1/3 palmful)

  • Juice of 1 1/2 lemons, divided

  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable or chicken broth

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided

  • 1 box couscous (10 ounces)

  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup chives, finely chopped

  • Roasted Cauliflower

  • 1 cup flat leaf parsley, packed

  • Salt and pepper

  • 4 flatbreads or pitas, warmed

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. On a baking sheet, spread the chickpeas and pine nuts in a single layer; roast until the nuts are golden and the chickpeas are warmed, 7-8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic and cumin. Stir in one-third of the lemon juice. In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable broth and 1 tablespoon EVOO to a boil. Turn off the heat and stir in the couscous, dill and chives. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. In a serving bowl, combine the chickpeas, pine nuts, cauliflower and parsley and dress with the remaining lemon juice and 2 tablespoons EVOO; season with salt and pepper. Fluff the couscous with a fork. Spoon onto four plates and top with the salad. Serve with the garlic yogurt and bread.
