Roast cauliflower, fennel and white bean salad with roast tomato salsa

May 26, 2019 / Niki / 15 Comments

The sun is starting to poke its head out a bit more and being ever hopeful that we’ll have a glorious summer I thought I’d create some picnic food. So this is the first in a series of lovely summery recipes which are perfect for picnics, eating outside or on the move. 

A healthy and delicious salad with roast cauliflower and fennel (two veg which are completely transformed by roasting) combined with an incredible roast tomato salsa and delicious protein packed butter beans and chickpeas. 

And you’ve got to have some crunch right? Toasted sunflower seeds provide and great texture contrast. 
This also perfect for packed lunches, as it’s hearty and filling. 
I hope you enjoy, love Niki xx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.
