Ingredients
Cauliflower:
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mild curry powder (recommended: Spice Islands)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (10-ounce box) couscous
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped, roasted and lightly salted cashews
- 1 (4-inch) piece cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 large lemon, zested
Dressing:
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons mild curry powder (recommended: Spice Islands)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Cauliflower: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet liberally with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, toss the cauliflower and olive oil together until coated. Put in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast until golden and tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Salad: In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth, curry powder and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the couscous. Cover the pot and allow the couscous to absorb the liquid, about 5 to 7 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork and transfer it to a large serving bowl. Stir in the cooked cauliflower, cranberries, cashews, cucumber, parsley, and lemon zest. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil and curry powder until smooth. Whisk in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Just before serving, add the dressing to the salad and toss well to coat.

This is one of my family's favorite recipes! And as an English teacher, I really appreciate that most of the ingredients in this one start with the letter C - alliteration at its finest! Meatless and magnificent!

This recipe makes way more than 5-6 servings, like 20 or more. My family wouldn't eat it and they are used to eating couscous even when traveling in Morocco. Sorry, Giada, this time it didn't work.
By the way, if you don't follow the recipe, should you really be posting a review on a variation of the recipe that you made up yourself??
