Recipe Notes
I had a variation of this salad at a restaurant. The dish was on the menu with this same title, Tahini Cauliflower Salad, and the description sounded so good. Creamy tahini with roasted cauliflower and pine nuts paired with lemon and chickpeas. However, the dish was terrible. Far too salty and greasy and definitely too lemony.
