If you’re a fan of cauliflower, you’re going to love this vibrant and crunchy salad! The combination of sautéed cauliflower and fresh radish delivers an irresistible texture. For an extra touch, toss in some sunflower seeds, or swap the cilantro for parsley—or even use both!
This salad is one of my go-to recipes. It’s fresh, flavorful, and full of crunch—I make it all the time!
1 head of cauliflower, chopped
5 radishes, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves (or parsley)
Optional: sunflower seeds for added crunch
Olive oil (for sautéing)
1 small shallot
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped cauliflower and sauté until golden and tender, about 8–10 minutes.
Transfer the cauliflower to a large serving bowl. Add the sliced radishes and fresh herbs.
In a food processor or blender, mix together the shallot, olive oil, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
Finish with a sprinkle of sunflower seeds if using, and serve
