Roasted Cauliflower and Radicchio Salad

This vibrant roasted cauliflower and radicchio salad is a masterclass in balancing textures and flavours. The star of the dish is the caramelised cauliflower, which brings a mellow sweetness that perfectly offsets the slightly bitter crunch of the purple radicchio and fresh romaine. Finished with a punchy shallot vinaigrette and a generous handful of flat-leaf parsley, it is a sophisticated vegan option that works beautifully as a substantial lunch or an elegant side dish.

Packed with plant-based nutrients, this colourful salad is particularly satisfying during the cooler months when brassicas are at their best. The addition of toasted hazelnuts adds a wonderful earthy depth and a necessary crunch. To save time, you can roast the cauliflower florets in advance, making this a quick and healthy assembly job for a midweek dinner or a weekend gathering with friends.
