Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Pomegranate Dressing

Cauliflower has had the biggest come-up over the last ten years because it's more bougie than The Kardashians, so we take cauliflower seriously at the Whole Revolution.

Roasting cauliflower does two beautiful things: it brings out the natural sugars to add the nuttiness flavor we all love and removes moisture, which makes this a perfect way to add cauliflower to any salad.

Pomegranate molasses is a must-have in my pantry. I use it often and suggest you add it to your pantry. Pomegranate molasses is simply pomegranate juice cooked down to create the molasses. It is rich in B vitamins which helps our cardiovascular and nervous system. Plus, it just tastes delicious. You can typically find this at Middle Eastern and Speciality markets or order it online.

These two ingredients truly make this salad special. I hope you try it, and let me know your thoughts in the comments. Or post on social and tag @thewholerevolution
