I love a good sandwich. Although I do love chickpea salad, it seems like that is always the only plant based sandwich option. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a cauliflower salad sandwich option at a restaurant one time and I new that I had to recreate it at home. This vegan cauliflower salad sandwich is a delicious plant based sandwich option.
This cauliflower salad is simple to make and so delicious. You simply have to cut the cauliflower into small florets and then roast it until it's crispy. Then you make a simple yogurt sauce and toss the roasted cauliflower in it.
I love beans but I know some people don't. This cauliflower salad is a good bean free meat substitute, and it is gluten free and paleo. I love it on a sandwich but it would also be good in a wrap or on its own.
This recipe is also super healthy. Turmeric adds some anti-inflammatory properties and the cauliflower is anti cancer. Cilantro and jalapeno are cleansing for you. I used yogurt for extra gut healing properties but you could sub mayo if you like. This cauliflower salad is the perfect healthy and delicious recipe.
I love making cauliflower recipes. For more great cauliflower recipes try my cauliflower crunch salad or my cauliflower tahini soup.

Obsessed with this recipe! I charred my jalapeños before adding them to this recipe and it turned out amazing. Used Trader Joe's cashew yogurt (unsweetened). So bomb!

Had a thing of cauliflower in my fridge I didn’t know what to do with. I quickly whipped this up and was amazed, can’t wait for leftover tomorrow! Will be a nice picnic sandwich for summer as well.
