About the Recipe

Be prepared to experience a burst of spicy, tangy, and smoky flavors with a refreshing crunch and a creamy Ranch. A summer delight you'll love!

Ingredients

For the BBQ Cauliflower 

  • 4 cups cauliflower florets

  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce*

 

For the Ranch Dressing

  • 1 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight)

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 1/4 apple cider vinegar 

  • 1 tsp dill

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp chives

 

For the Salad

Any combination of your favorite fresh veggies; I used:

  • lettuce mix and microgreens (for the base)

  • Shredded cabbage 

  • Shredded carrots

  • Radish slices

  • Cucumber slices

  • Green onions

  • Black beans (drained and rinsed)

  • Corn

Preparation

For the BBQ Cauliflower 

Preheat oven to 400F.

Chop your cauliflower into florets and toss with BBQ sauce until well coated.

Spread cauliflower out onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 mins until tender and charred.

 

For the Ranch Dressing 

 

While cauliflower is roasting make your ranch dressing by adding all ingredients to your blender. Blend on high speed until creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

 

For the Salad

 

In a large salad bowl, combine all of your salad ingredients, top with cooled BBQ cauliflower and drizzle with your creamy ranch dressing. Toss to coat.

 

 

NOTE:

*I used my homemade BBQ sauce (recipe coming soon)

*For freshness it’s best to add the BBQ cauliflower and Ranch dressing when your ready to serve.
