Ingredients for Cauliflower and Zucchini Salad:

 

• 4 medium-sized zucchinis
• 6 cups of cauliflower, or one head of cauliflower weighing about 2 kg
• 3 cups of boiled artichoke
• 2 tablespoons of black pepper
• Salt to taste
• 1 cup of red radish
• 1 cup of chopped parsley
• 1 green pepper

For the dressing, we need:

• ½ cup of apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of tahini
• ½ cup of water
• 3 cloves of crushed garlic
• 1 red pepper
• 1 onion

Method of Preparation for Cauliflower and Zucchini Salad:

First, we prepare the vegetables. The cauliflower is cut into uniform, medium-sized pieces, washed thoroughly with water, then placed in a deep bowl and submerged in water. The bowl is placed on medium heat and left to boil for about 30 minutes.

Once done, remove it from the heat and drain it using a suitable strainer. Rinse with cold water and leave it to dry slightly.

The artichoke and some zucchini are cut into round, uniform pieces, and placed on an oven-safe tray after brushing it with some oil.

The cauliflower pieces are arranged alongside, sprinkled with black pepper and salt. Then, the tray is placed in the oven at a medium temperature (around 200°C) and left to cook for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the dressing. In a blender, combine the zucchini, vinegar, crushed garlic, water, tahini, and red pepper. Blend everything thoroughly.

Take a small amount of the dressing mixture and spread it over the vegetables in the oven.

Set aside the remaining dressing for later use.

Next, prepare the remaining ingredients: cut the radish into thin slices and finely chop the parsley.

Place the chopped vegetables into a deep bowl.

Remove the vegetable tray from the oven and allow it to cool for about 15 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are fully cooled.

Once cooled, add the vegetables to the parsley and radish mixture. Stir well to combine, then pour in a little of the dressing and mix thoroughly.

Finally, transfer the salad to a serving dish. Spread the remaining dressing on top of the dish and serve the salad cold.
