This BBQ Cauliflower Chopped Salad is a deliciously filling vegetarian salad impressed by the same recipe in Gaby Dalkin’s newest cookbook, Take It Easy (please be aware this ebook was gifted to me however all opinions are my very own).

With cooler climate approaching, I’ve discovered myself gravitating in direction of spending increasingly time again within the kitchen. That is excellent timing as a result of cookbook season is again in full swing and the brand new fall books have already beginning rolling in! I wasted no time diving into the primary one which is Gaby’s latest ebook, Take it Easy. I’ve been a giant fan of Gaby for a very long time as a result of her recipes are all the time approachable and excellent for weeknight cooking. I’m additionally an enormous fan of her photographer, Matt Armendariz, so it got here as no shock that every one the photographs in her latest ebook have been completely attractive!

The primary recipe I made a decision to sort out was this large chopped salad as a result of I completely love a salad that I can eat as a meal. This salad has all of it – protein-rich beans, herby do-it-yourself ranch dressing, salty tortilla chips, and crisp lettuce. Gaby has you make a scrumptious do-it-yourself dressing for it however does reduce some corners by utilizing store-bought BBQ sauce which helps reduce down on prep time.

As I are inclined to do, I did regulate this recipe a bit to make it my very own. The precise recipe within the ebook is for a BBQ rooster chopped salad however I had a sense it might be scrumptious with some roasted cauliflower as an alternative. And guess what?! I used to be appropriate! I additionally roasted the corn with the cauliflower for slightly further taste and added some spring combine lettuce since I had it readily available.

I may eat this recipe every single day for lunch! And I’m already dreaming of additives I may add to this to combine it up – toss in some Pico de Gallo, sauté up some crimson peppers and onions, or swap in candy potatoes within the winter as an alternative of corn.
