Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, broken into small florets
  • 4 small peppers or 2 large peppers, deseeded and sliced into chunks
  • 1 400g can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp ground garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp flaky salt
  • 60g feta, crumbled
  • 50g almonds, roasted
  • 10g parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 spring onion, finely chopped
  • Olive oil
  • 100g Greek yoghurt
  • 1/2 of the roasted peppers
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 3 tbsp vinegar
  • 2–4 tbsp water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C or 200°C fan. Place the cauliflower and peppers on a large shallow baking tray. Add smoked paprika, ground garlic, cumin, and flaky salt. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix well.
  2. Spread the chickpeas on a separate baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Bake the vegetables and chickpeas for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chickpeas are golden and crispy.
  4. Place the almonds on a small baking tray and roast in the oven for about 8 minutes. Allow to cool, then roughly chop.
  5. To make the dressing, add Greek yoghurt, half of the roasted peppers, tahini, vinegar, water, and a pinch of salt to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, remaining roasted peppers, chickpeas, feta, chopped almonds, parsley, and spring onion.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently before serving.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free yoghurt and vegan feta for a fully plant-based version.
  • The dressing can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve warm or chilled depending on preference.
  • Add extra herbs or chili flakes for additional flavor.
