My life revolves around food. I live for it, I dream about it… Food is basically the reason I exist.
And I adore finding fun new ways to use veggies. This salad is simple and satisfying with tons of texture and flavor.
I’ve taken raw broccoli and cauliflower on a trip to the Middle East.
The star of the show is the curried dressing made with hummus and spiced with za’atar, cumin, chilli, and turmeric!!!
This creamy dressing coats the veggies and the peppadews add some color and a little bit of vinegary sweetness.
This salad is sheer genius. xxx MM
