YOU WILL NEED
Cauliflower Cream
- 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 Vegetables

Hazelnut Dressing
- ¼ cup (25 g) hazelnuts, chopped
- 1 T (15 ml) olive oil

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.
