Ingredients
2 cups cauliflower florets2 teaspoons olive oil1 teaspoon ground coriander¼ teaspoon sea saltsalad½ cup uncooked amaranth2 to 3 handfuls baby or chopped lettuce¼ cup lemon vinaigretteRed Pepper Flakes (, for serving)
Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400ËšF. Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, coriander, and salt. Spread into a single layer in a roasting pan. Roast until the cauliflower is tender and lightly charring.


2. While the cauliflower is cooking, combine the amaranth with 1 ½ cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the amaranth is tender. Once the amaranth is tender (the consistency will still look a bit porridge-like), place in a nut-milk bag (or something similar- as long as the amaranth can’t slip through.) Rinse the amaranth and squeeze out as much of the water as you can.


3. Place the rinse amaranth in a bowl and combine with the cauliflower and lettuce. Drizzle dressing over the salad and toss until well combined. Serve with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
