SPICED CARROT SALAD WITH YOGURT PITAS



Spiced Carrot Salad with Yogurt Pitas image

This salad is a Central Asian classic; it's usually served as a light, fresh side to richer grilled meat. We loved the way the carrots' sweetness brought out the cabernet's more herbaceous side.

CAULIFLOWER-AND-CHICKPEA PITAS WITH CREAMY YOGURT SAUCE



Cauliflower-and-Chickpea Pitas with Creamy Yogurt Sauce image

Eating more plant-based meals just got easier, and even healthier. This falafel-inspired pita sandwich gets its crunch from chickpeas that are roasted, not fried. A bright, zippy lime-jalapeño yogurt sauce is drizzled on right before digging in and compliments both the crunchy chickpeas and spiced roasted cauliflower.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1 1/2" florets (8 cups)
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3/4 cup 5 percent-fat Greek yogurt
4 pitas (each 6 inches)
