WHITE BEAN SALAD WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER



White Bean Salad With Roasted Cauliflower image

This is the kind of substantial salad that's nice to have on hand, no matter the occasion. If you have time, it's best made with large dried white beans, such as cannellini, simmered at home. (It's great to have a pot of cooked beans in the fridge all summer long, for deploying in salads and soups.) But using canned beans is absolutely OK. The recipe calls for roasting the cauliflower, but it could also be cooked on a grill to impart some pleasant smokiness.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small head cauliflower, cut into ½-inch slices
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 cups cooked white beans or 2 (15-ounce) cans, drained
1 cup thinly sliced celery heart (the tender inner stalks and leaves)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons slivered scallions
1 large shallot, diced small
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground fennel (optional)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
Salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast on the top rack until nicely browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the dressing: Put shallot in a small bowl with mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, vinegar and ground fennel, if using. Stir well to combine, then whisk in olive oil. Season to taste.
  • Make the salad: Put beans in a low salad bowl. Add celery and cauliflower, pour the dressing over and toss well, taking care not to crush beans. Let salad rest for 30 minutes or so to meld flavors. Taste and adjust for salt, acid and oil. Add parsley and scallions, toss once more, then serve at room temperature.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium head of cauliflower (about 2 pounds), florets and stem cut into 1-inch pieces
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Coarsely chopped parsley (for serving)
Baby romaine hearts and endive leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Pour water into a medium saucepan to a depth of 1/4"; add cauliflower and garlic. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat, and cook until florets are very easily pierced with a paring knife, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion, cumin, and 1 tsp. salt and cook, stirring often, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring often, until onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
  • Transfer onion mixture to a blender. Add yogurt, lemon zest and juice, reserved cauliflower, and remaining 1 tsp. salt and purée until smooth. With the motor running, add 2 Tbsp. oil in a steady stream until well combined. If dip is too thick, blend in 1 Tbsp. water at a time to reach desired consistency. Let cool to room temperature.
  • To serve, spread dip in a wide bowl or platter. Drizzle with oil and top with parsley. Serve with romaine hearts and endive leaves alongside for dipping.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dip can be made 5 days ahead; cover and chill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower has a better flavor and texture than frozen cauliflower. If you're using frozen cauliflower, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Roast the cauliflower: Roasting the cauliflower brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the cauliflower in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a food processor: A food processor is the best way to get a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but the dip may not be as smooth.
  • Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to your cauliflower white bean dip, such as garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers: Cauliflower white bean dip is a great appetizer or snack. Serve it with your favorite dippers, such as tortilla chips, pita chips, or vegetable crudités.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower white bean dip is a delicious, healthy, and versatile dip that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover cauliflower and beans, and it's also a great option for parties and potlucks. With its creamy texture and flavorful taste, cauliflower white bean dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
