Description

This roasted cauliflower salad features raisins, carrots, pecans, and a creamy mayo dressing.

Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped red onion
2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
1/3 cup toasted chopped pecans
3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (210 degrees C) and line a 12 x 18 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 Combine cauliflower pieces, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and toss to combine. Spread out seasoned cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3 Roast in the preheated oven until the edges of the cauliflower begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
4 Remove from the oven and allow to cool, slightly, about 5 minutes.
5 Combine celery, raisins, carrots, mayonnaise, red onion, and sugar in the same bowl. Add roasted cauliflower pieces and toss to coat.
6 Transfer salad to a serving bowl and garnish with toasted pecan pieces and crumbled bacon.
