Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Roasted Blackened Cauliflower:
    • 1 head organic cauliflower, cut into florets
    • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tbsp blackened seasoning (homemade or store-bought)
    • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • For the Roasted Veggies:
    • 2 cups sweet corn kernels (white or yellow)
    • 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
    • 2–3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tsp sea salt
    • 1 tsp black pepper
  • For the Salad:
    • 2 bunches organic kale, de-stemmed and roughly chopped (green, red, or both)
    • 2 jalapeños, chopped
    • 1 organic cucumber, peeled and sliced
    • 1 Haas avocado, peeled, pitted, and chopped
  • For the Dressing:
    • 1 batch homemade Green Goddess Dressing (see linked recipe or your favorite version)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Roast the Blackened Cauliflower:
    In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets, olive oil, blackened seasoning, smoked paprika, and maple syrup. Toss until well coated. Spread the cauliflower evenly on one of the prepared baking sheets.
  • Roast the Veggies:
    On the second baking sheet, arrange the corn and broccolini. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat. Roast both baking sheets in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the veggies are golden and slightly charred. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Massage the Kale:
    Strip the kale leaves from their stems (if not already done) and roughly chop them. Place the kale in a large bowl and drizzle with 1–2 teaspoons of lemon juice or olive oil. Massage the kale gently with your hands for 2–3 minutes until softened and infused with flavor.
  • Assemble the Salad:
    On a large serving plate or in a salad bowl, layer the massaged kale, roasted corn, broccolini, chopped cucumber, jalapeños, blackened cauliflower, and sliced avocado.
  • Add the Dressing and Serve:
    Drizzle the salad with your prepared Green Goddess Dressing. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan, croutons, or your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • The salad can be customized by adding other veggies like roasted sweet potatoes or beets.
  • You can swap the Green Goddess Dressing for a store-bought version if preferred.
  • For extra crunch, top with nuts or seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
