WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



White Bean Salad With Roasted Cauliflower image

This is the kind of substantial salad that's nice to have on hand, no matter the occasion. If you have time, it's best made with large dried white beans, such as cannellini, simmered at home. (It's great to have a pot of cooked beans in the fridge all summer long, for deploying in salads and soups.) But using canned beans is absolutely OK. The recipe calls for roasting the cauliflower, but it could also be cooked on a grill to impart some pleasant smokiness.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small head cauliflower, cut into ½-inch slices
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked white beans or 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained
1 cup thinly sliced celery heart (the tender inner stalks and leaves)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons slivered scallions
1 large shallot, diced small
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel (optional)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast on the top rack until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing: Put shallot in a small bowl with mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar and ground fennel, if using. Stir well to combine, then whisk in olive oil. Season to taste.
  • Make the salad: Put beans in a low salad bowl. Add celery and cauliflower, pour the dressing over and toss well, taking care not to crush beans. Let salad rest for 30 minutes or so to meld flavors. Taste and adjust for salt, acid and oil. Add parsley and scallions, toss once more, then serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for cauliflower that is white and firm, with no brown spots. Choose white beans that are plump and not wrinkled. And use fresh feta cheese that is not crumbly.
  • Cook the cauliflower properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the cauliflower until it is tender and slightly caramelized. You can also boil or steam the cauliflower, but roasting is the preferred method.
  • Don't overcook the white beans: White beans should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their shape and flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta that is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly tangy taste.
  • Add fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or basil, can add a lot of flavor to this salad. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

This cauliflower, white bean, and feta salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for summer. It is packed with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. It is also a good source of protein and healthy fats. This salad is easy to make and can be served as a main course or side dish. It is also a great option for potlucks and picnics.
