Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 10 oz cauliflower florets
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 bunch lacinato kale
  • ½ teaspoon distilled white vinegar
  • cup pepitas, toasted
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • Creamy Cauliflower Dressing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a sheet pan, add cauliflower florets and toss with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, until browned in spots and softened.
  • Meanwhile, remove the thick rib and massage kale with vinegar and a pinch of kosher salt until slightly wilted (or use other tips from the post). Toss with pepitas, cranberries, creamy curry dressing, and cauliflower.

Notes

  • Massaging your kale (rubbing the leaves between your hands) can soften them if you find them a little to tough or chewy to enjoy. I find letting it soak in the dressing for 10-15 minutes can also help!
