Warm Winter Salad - a hearty, Middle Eastern salad made on a sheet pan with roasted cauliflower, carrots, fennel and chickpeas, topped with wilting spinach, drizzled with Everyday Tahini Sauce and sprinkled with fresh dill and Dukkah. Vegan and Gluten-free.

Warm Winter Salad

cauliflower,

carrots (or parsnips), peeled and cut into 1 inch thick pieces

fennel bulb,

red onion, sliced ito 1/2 inch wedges

can chickpeas chickpeas

olive oil

garlic cloves, garlic

coriander

sumac (optional, but tasty)

salt

cracked pepper

lemon

baby spinach

Everyday Tahini Sauce (thin out with a little water, to make it more like a dressing)

Dukkah (or a 2 tablespoons Zaatar)

dill

lemon juice

Aleppo chili flakes

Place the cauliflower florets, carrots, fennel, onion and chickpeas in a EXTRA large bowl. Toss with the olive oil, minced garlic, coriander, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Toss well.

Place in a single layer on one or two, parchement lined sheet pans. Bake  for 15 minutes, then toss veggies and rotate pans, bake 10-15 minutes more until cauliflower is tender, and edges crispy.

Make the Everyday Tahini Sauce and the Dukkah.

If serving on the sheet pan, move all the veggies onto one pan. Spread around evenly. Top with the baby spinach, drizzle the tahini sauce over top (diagonally is nice) and sprinkle with the Dukkah. Squeeze with a little lemon.

Garnish with the fresh dill and Chili flakes.

I like this strange salad.  I had Dukkah, didn't use dill, but will add fresh dill to the left-overs for sure.  The daily tahini sauce was very good, but this salad could take just about any dressing.  Thanks for the inspiration.

I made this tonight for dinner and I absolutely loved it! The tahini sauce and dukkah really make this dish. One question, how do you say dukkah? Like a ducka or dooka?

Absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe- easy to make, super healthy and amazing flavours! Every recipe I make of yours is so good- I am super grateful to you for providing them. I often make your sheet pan ratatouille and I will be making this one frequently too. I have never used fennel before as I was never quite sure what to do with it- so good- can't believe I've been missing out on it for all these years!  The tahini sauce was perfect with this. Thanks again.

LOVED this recipe!  Had to punt with the ingredients on hand since we are under 'Shelter In Place' order at the moment.  I had no fennel but did have the parsnips so used them and the carrots.   Had a packaged of chopped cauliflower, so added it after the first 15 minutes of cooking.  Added some kale leaves to the last 5-7 minutes of cooking b/c I needed to use them.  The tahini dressing was off the charts, especially with a big dash of hot sauce.  Will make this again!  Family loved it too.  Keep the awesome recipes coming!  Thanks you Sylvia!

I love this salad, Sylvia.  It is one of my all time favorites.  Just made it for the second time tonight.  Subbed arugula for the spinach because that's what I had in the fridge.  Equally yummy.  Plan to make it again in a week as we have snow in the forecast here in west Michigan for Monday, May 11th.  Brr rrr.

Excellent!!! I had to substitute a few veggies bc I used what I had, cauliflower, butternut squash, red onions. Chickpeas and spinach. It was wonderful!!!  Thank you for all the great recipes... per doc I needed to change by diet and your recipes make it so easy and tasty!!!!

Thank you - this is gorgeous. We made this for our New Year's Day meal with family. Next time I make it, I'll use about half or less of the dressing. It was a bit too much vinegar, but how would we know that if we didn't try it to the letter of the recipe first. Will definitely make again and just go a bit lighter. Again - a truly lovely salad.

Love the ingredients….   but warning, this dressing is way too vinegry for our tastes!   By a LOT!!!!!
Talk about putting a pucker on your face!!!!    We added more olive oil AND sugar to save it for our liking!!!!!

I do not like blue che c you use feta cheese instead

Great Christmas salad. I used red pears, baby spinach and gorgonzola cheese. Kept the rest the same. Thanks for the idea. So simple to make. My family ate the entire dish.

I made this for a baby shower. It was great! I love the dressing too. I served it with blue cheese and feta cheese on the side per preference. It was easy to make and tasty.
