Ingredients

Dressing:

Cauliflower couscous:

  • 3 cups of cauliflower florets washed and dried completely
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin Greek olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 Tbsp pine nuts
  • 2 Tbsp currants

Instructions

  1. Make your dressing by stirring together the olive oil with turmeric, paprika, balsamic vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  2. Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it’s the size of couscous. Careful not to overmix; you don’t want to puree the cauliflower – it should be like rice.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower “couscous” and a few good pinches of salt. Let it gently toast for a minute or so and stir. Toss again and add the pine nuts if using. Cook for about a minute and remove from heat.
  4. Toss cauliflower with parsley and top with pomegranate seeds. Taste and adjust the seasonings and serve with the rest of the dressing on the side.
