Cauliflower salads that will make you forget the bland and boiled versions from your childhood

A cauliflower salad deserves a spot on any entertaining table. From recipes for cauliflower salad that calls for the jewel-like adornment of pomegranate arils to roasted cauliflower salad drizzled with a zingy, garlicky sauce, cauliflower salads impress on all occasions. Raw, roasted or finely grated, cauliflower finds its place tossed in a salad.

We love the fine texture of the white vegetable when it's mixed through a quinoa salad, or roasted with a ginger-soy dressing and served in a nourishing bowl of silken tofu and walnut rice. For a pop of colour, you can't go past the turmeric-roasted cauliflower with almonds.
