Roasted Cauliflower, Pomegranate And Pine Nut Salad
- 1 head Cauliflower (1 Pound Size), Cut Into 2-inch Florets
- 1 whole Medium Size White Or Red Onion (1 Should Yield About 1 Cup, Cut Into 1/4 Inch Slices)
- 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt To Taste
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
- 5 Tablespoons Pine Nuts
- 2 stalks Celery, Cut On The Bias Into 1/2 In. Slices
- 1/4 teaspoons Powdered Allspice
- 1/4 teaspoons Powdered Cinnamon
- 1/2 cups Pomegranate Arils (for 1/2 Cup You'll Need Roughly 1 Small Pomegranate)
- 1-1/2 Tablespoon Balsamic Or Sherry Vinegar
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Maple Syrup Or Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1. Preheat oven to 425 F/215 C.
- 2. Mix the cauliflower and sliced onions with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and some black pepper.
- 3. Spread out in a roasting pan and roast on the middle oven rack for 20-25 minutes, until the cauliflower is semi-crisp and parts of it have turned golden brown.
- 4. The onions will be done in this time, regardless of how they look. Transfer the cauliflower and onions to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- 5. Put the pine nuts in a cast iron or steel pan and toast over medium heat until they start to turn light brown. Turn off the heat and shake them in the pan; the hot pan will continue to toast them. Remove pan from heat as soon as they smell fragrant and are a slightly darker brown. The only time pine nuts are evenly brown is when they're burned so don't wait for this to happen!
- 6. After the nuts are cooled a bit, mix them with the roasted vegetables, celery, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and the rest of the ingredients. Stir and season with salt, pepper.
- 7. Adjust salt and pepper and add additional lemon juice to taste.
- 8. Serve at room temperature.
