Mushroom Free Roasted Cauliflower Salad with Tahini Dressing

Roasted cauliflower gets the full treatment here — tossed with cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika before hitting a hot oven until the edges go deeply golden and the chickpeas crisp up just enough to add a satisfying bite. The whole thing lands on a bed of peppery baby arugula, which wilts just slightly under the warmth of the vegetables in the best possible way. Dried cranberries and toasted pumpkin seeds bring a sweet-tart contrast and a nutty crunch that makes every forkful interesting. The tahini dressing — bright with fresh lemon juice and a hint of garlic — ties it all together in a way that feels restaurant-worthy without any complicated technique. For anyone navigating a diet that rules out fungi, this kind of bold, plant-forward salad can feel hard to find ready-made, but every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. It works equally well as a hearty lunch or a showstopping side at the dinner table, and the warm-meets-cool contrast makes it genuinely hard to stop eating.
