This salad is bursting with big flavors from Garam Masala for roasting the veggies and Lemon White Balsamic for flavoring the dressing. Soom Tahini is one of our favorite pantry staples, and this vinaigrette will prove why. Make a big batch of both the roasted veggies and dressing – they keep well in the fridge and make for amazing leftover possibilities.

1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets | |
1 can chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry | |
[Roasted Garlic Avocado Oil] | |
2 Tbl [Garam Masala] | |
2 tsp salt | |

Kale, for the salad base | |
Thinly sliced red onion, for the salad | |
Pomegranate ariels, for the salad |
1. | In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini paste, lemon juice, Lemon White Balsamic, garlic, salt and pepper along with 1 Tbl water to start. Whisk and add more water as needed to adjust the consistency. Taste and adjust with salt. Adjust with lemon juice for tartness and Lemon White Balsamic for sweetness as needed. Set aside. |
