ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH WATERCRESS, WALNUTS AND GRUYÈRE

Serves 4.

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets

• 6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 11/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided

• 3/4 tsp. pepper, divided

• 1 tbsp. sherry vinegar

• 2 bunches watercress, large stems removed

• 1/4 lb. Gruyère cheese, diced or grated (about 1 c.)

• 2/3 c. toasted walnuts

Directions

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a bowl, toss together the cauliflower, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and dark golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar with the remaining salt and pepper, and then whisk in the remaining oil.

In a salad bowl, toss the watercress, cheese, nuts and warm cauliflower. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until well combined.
