Happy Hump Day!

I’m FINALLY starting to feel a tad better today. The pressure in my head is starting to go away and my sinuses are now draining. But, my poor husband is in the thick of it and not feeling well at all. I hope he feels better soon so we can get rid of these awful germs!

Anyhow, for this week’s What I Ate Wednesday, I’m excited to share this hearty one-pot meal with you…Roasted Cauliflower Arugula Salad! I posted it over a year ago on my old site, but I recently made it again, so I thought I would re-post it. For some reason I seem to forget about this salad, but it is so good that I always promise to make it more often (especially since Keenan and my husband love it, too!)

Roasted Cauliflower Arugula Salad (a hearty dinner salad!)

Ingredients

  • 1 large head (or 2 small heads) of cauliflower (chopped)
  • 1 bag of arugula
  • 4-5 slices of thick cut bacon (diced and cooked)

  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place chopped cauliflower on a baking sheet and drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil on top, as well as a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Combine, so all of the cauliflower is thoroughly coated. Roast for 20-30 minutes at 425 degrees (until golden brown).

  3. Mix the rest of the olive oil, vinegars, mustard, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
