Equipment
Ingredients
Salad
- 3-4 cups chopped red cabbage cut into 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces
- 3-4 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoons black pepper
Maple Miso Balsamic Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon white miso paste
- ½ tablespoon water
Toppings
- ¼ cup toasted chopped almonds
- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs flat-leaf parsley, cilantro, and/or dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Spread the cauliflower and cabbage pieces in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast for 23–25 minutes, carefully flipping the vegetables halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and the cauliflower pierces easily with a fork.
- While the vegetables roast, whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until well combined.
- If toasting almonds: spread on a small baking dish and roast at 425°F for 8–9 minutes until golden and fragrant.
- Arrange roasted vegetables on a serving platter. Top with fresh herbs and toasted almonds. Drizzle with dressing and serve warm.
Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan — use two pans if needed for a single layer.
- Grill option: Slice into 1-inch steaks and grill on medium-low for 20–25 minutes, turning every 4–5 minutes.
- Keto: Omit maple syrup from the dressing.
- Nut-free: Sub pepitas or sunflower seeds for almonds.
- Miso substitute: Coconut aminos + a pinch of wasabi powder works well for soy-free.
- Make-ahead: Roast vegetables and make dressing up to 3 days ahead. Store separately. Dress just before serving.
- Storage: Refrigerate 4–5 days. Not recommended for freezing.
- Serve warm, room temp, or cold — all work wel
