Raw cauliflower with tahini dressing recipe
Last Updated on
Cauliflower is a extremely versatile vegetable. You can use it in so many different dishes, from roasting it and using it as a pizza base, to blitzing it into a tasty soup. One of my favourite ways to enjoy cauliflower is in this raw form, with a delicious tahini dressing.
The key to this dish is to use a sharp knife to chop the cauliflower into thin, even slices. This not only looks pretty, but also means that the cauliflower will absorb more of the lovely dressing. The tahini dressing is made with just a few simple ingredients, and comes together in no time at all. Simply whizz everything up in a blender or food processor and you’re done.
If you want to add a little more protein to this dish, you could try topping it with some grilled chicken or salmon. Otherwise, it’s perfect just as it is. I like to enjoy this raw cauliflower salad as a light lunch or starter, but it would also make a great side dish.
