Cabbage, Pear and Roasted Cauliflower Salad

This Cabbage, Pear and Roasted Cauliflower Salad is basically a summary of my serious love for fall-flavored salads. They have such a complex and robust flavor compared to light summer salads. I usually like to make shredded brussels sprout salads but decided to use cabbage in its place. We got a bunch of cabbage in our CSA basket and basically the best freaking cauliflower I have ever had!

The dressing is a combination of red wine vinegar, lemon, garlic and fresh basil. It is a perfect sweet and tangy dressing to complement the bitter cabbage flavor. The pear and pomegranate also lends a sweet flavor that compliments the smoky roasted cauliflower and everything is topped off with a crunch from the pumpkin seeds!

Enjoy!
