Made this last weekend and it was a huge hit. So beautiful and delicious! Such an easy recipe- thanks!

Eating the leftovers for lunch today and have to say, this just made my whole day. It gets even better as it sits. Awesome recipe!

Excellent salad- made it with regular white cauliflower as I cant find purple where I live. Flavors were stunning.

This is our new household favorite! We made it with black rice and threw in some sun-dried tomatoes for good measure and it was absolutely delicious.

My family (with kids 7 and 9) really loved this.  Added all the extras listed above. Used quinoa and a large head of cauliflower. Husband added aleppo pepper. We’ll be making it again.

Beautiful AND delicious!  And my kid liked it so bonus.  :)

This is beyond fabulous.  One of the best recipes of yours that I've tasted and that's a high bar. Thank you so much!

Oh yeah, baby!  ThIs was incredible.  Too bad I can’t give more than 5 stars.

We grew a purple cauliflower in our garden!! It was beautiful but I had no idea what to do with it, until I came upon your recipe. We have a new baby at home so I've also been trying to incorporate more barley and brown rice into my diet and barley worked great in this and I'm sure brown rice would too. I had some probiotic lemon olives instead of kalamata and they added a nice touch. I also added the young tender leaves from around the cauliflower to the salad as well as all the little crumbles/rice that are left on the cutting board after cutting into florets went in the salad raw. The juxtaposition of the bright purple incredibly fresh and sweet raw cauliflower and the deeper purple rich roasted florets was incredible. I omitted salt completely until serving and it was the hit of our bbq!! I wish I could add pictures here...Thanks for the recipe, your website is a great find.
