There are so many variety of ways to make salads. Add what you like and substitute what you don’t like for something else! Make salads with raw vegetables, roasted vegetables, add grains, nuts, fruits and cheese! Anything goes when it comes to salads. Here is a Roasted Cauliflower & Spinach Salad, that takes only 15 minutes to make!

Grilled Vegetables

You may have noticed, from my past blogs, how much I love grilling vegetables to add to salads. It brings out the flavors of the vegetables, when grilled! It’s nice doing a mixture of cooked and raw vegetables, for the different textures in my salads. Because it’s summer I have been grilling most of my foods. I have to say, it’s so nice not having the smell of food in the house! I use the grill so much, I have already used up the propane tank I purchased in May!

Spinach Salad

Grilled cauliflower & spinach salad is as easy as it sounds! For this salad, I used spinach as the base but kale is also a great substitute. To make this spinach salad, you only need 4 ingredients and the dressing, of course! For the dressing, I just used olive oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Any vinaigrette will go great with this salad. These are also ingredients that are easily found year round, at any grocery store.

You Will Need:

• spinach
• cauliflower
• red onion
• feta cheese
• limes
• olive oil
• salt
• pepper

What Needs Grilling?

I grilled the cauliflower and red onion for about 5-7 minutes. I tossed the cauliflower and flipped the onion halfway. If you don’t have a grill, use your oven! The oven is my friend, most of the year, since it’s cold just about 9 months out of the year. If you choose to use the oven, turn it on HI BROIL and cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway. You get the same results. I served this salad with grilled chicken.
