You will need
½ medium cauliflower, broken into big florets with the stems
2 cups (500 ml) water
2 T (30 ml) olive oil
Ina Paarman’s Vegetable Spice
baby carrots, trimmed
spring onions, cut into 3 – 4 cm lengths
baby radishes, trimmed
microgreens
fruit in season
¼ cup (25 g) hazelnuts, chopped
1 T (15 ml) olive oil
½ cup (125 ml) Ina Paarman’s Reduced Oil Greek Dressing
Method
Slow cook the cauliflower in barely simmering water with the olive oil for 10 minutes. Drain and reserve water. Liquidise cauliflower with a handheld blender, adding enough of the cauliflower stock to make a very smooth cream. Season to taste with Vegetable Spice.
Make a bold smear of Cauliflower Cream on each plate. Arrange vegetables, greens and fruit on the cauliflower.
Toast the hazelnuts in a little olive oil, add the Dressing, bring to the boil and spoon hot dressing over the salad.
