Ingredients
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 shallot, quartered
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 4 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large avocado, pitted
- 1/4 c. (or more) water
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 c. packed fresh parsley leaves, divided
- 1 large head of romaine, roughly chopped
- 3 c. packed baby spinach
- 1 c. cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 c. shaved Parmesan (about 2 oz.)
- 1/4 c. sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. On a large baking sheet, toss cauliflower, shallots, chili powder, cumin, and 2 tablespoons oil until coated; season with salt and pepper.
- Bake until cauliflower is golden and crisp and shallots are tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then slice shallots into rings.
- Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, blend avocado, water, vinegar, lime juice, 1/4 cup parsley, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. If needed, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to make a thinner dressing. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, combine romaine, spinach, and remaining 1/4 cup parsley. Add cauliflower, shallots, tomatoes, Parmesan, and almonds and toss to combine. Add desired amount of dressing and toss again to coat.
- Make Ahead: Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
