Healthy and absolutely delicious Roasted Purple Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, and Quinoa salad! A beautiful melody of flavor and the colors are quite pleasing to the eyes too! It’s a quick and easy meatless meal that is sure to please everyone!
I saw this head of Purple Cauliflower at the new Sprouts Farmers Market. It looked like regular cauliflower that had been bathed in lavender dye and knew I had to make something with it.
The color was just too pretty to pass up. It tastes like regular cauliflower, but that purple is just so vibrant.
I’m so excited to have a new place to shop, the new Sprouts Farmers Market is a beautiful store inside and carries items that other supermarkets don’t.
Their own brand is of wonderful quality! We tried Sprouts Rotisserie chicken BBQ flavor, oh WOW – Delicious!
Especially in the summer months with the incredible selection of fruit, Sprouts is my go-to place. Their prices are unbelievable!
GARLIC PARMESAN ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS mixed with other veggies on hand is a staple at our home!
And this time – my Purple Cauliflower has joined the party!
How to make Roasted Purple Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts and Quinoa salad
- Place cauliflower florets, Brussels sprouts, sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, green onions, and minced garlic onto a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle with Olive oil and toss the mixture together to evenly coat. Sprinkle with plenty of salt/pepper and Parmesan cheese.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes or until tender in the preheated to 400F oven.
I often add a tablespoon of salad or wine vinegar for extra flavor.
Cook Quinoa according to the recipe on the package. This one from Target is Absolutely Delicious! I love the red color as well.
This salad looks incredibly served, wouldn’t you agree? A wonderful combination of colors and flavors!
