Ingredients:

• 1 medium head cauliflower (about 600g)
• 2 ripe pears (about 250g)

Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and slightly caramelized.

While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Once the cauliflower is ready, let it cool slightly. In a large salad bowl, combine the roasted cauliflower, sliced pears, and chopped walnuts. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
