Cauliflower has undergone a serious rebrand in the last few years, people have recognised its versatility and started using it in everything. This recipe combines spicy harissa roasted cauliflower with a fresh herb salad and a refreshing lemon and garlic yogurt dressing.
This recipe uses a lot of my favourite Middle Eastern flavours to celebrate fresh produce. If you were looking to switch things up or make it more substantial you could add some bulgur or cous cous to beef it up. This would be great as a side for roast lamb or pork or as a meal in itself.
