Method

  • Cauliflower: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower and olive oil together until coated.
  • Put in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Roast until golden and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Salad: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth, curry powder and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the couscous.
  • Cover the pot and allow the couscous to absorb the liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Fluff the couscous with a fork and transfer it to a large serving bowl.
  • Stir in the cooked cauliflower, cranberries, cashews, cucumber, parsley, and lemon zest.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil and curry powder until smooth.
  • Whisk in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Just before serving, add the dressing to the salad and toss well to coat.
