This Mediterranean-inspired cauliflower with serrano ham and tomato is a vibrant way to elevate a humble vegetable. By briefly boiling the cauliflower until tender-crisp and tossing it with a warm dressing of salty ham, sweet cherry tomatoes, and bright lemon, you create a dish that is bursting with savoury flavour. It is a wonderful example of how high-quality ingredients can transform a simple side into something truly special for any occasion.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates while being rich in vitamin C and fibre. The combination of healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil and the lean protein from the serrano ham makes it a satisfying choice for a light lunch or a nutritious dinner accompaniment. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or enjoy it on its own as a wholesome, seasonal salad.

Ingredients for Cauliflower with Serrano Ham and Tomato
1 large head cauliflower (1.1kg), cored and cut into 1-inch florets
1/3 cup chopped red onion
80ml extra-virgin olive oil

How to make Cauliflower with Serrano Ham and Tomato
Cook cauliflower in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then transfer to a large bowl.
While cauliflower boils, cook onion in oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and ham and cook, stirring frequently, until just heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and parsley.
Pour tomato mixture over cauliflower and toss to coat, then season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
