Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 small sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil, separated
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 package baby arugula, about 5 ounces
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4-6 slices prosciutto, in bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, shaved
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Toss cauliflower and sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast in the oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
  3. While the vegetables are roasting you can make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, add the lemon juice and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk in the remaining 4 tablespoons of olive oil until incorporated. Season with generous amounts of salt and pepper.
  4. In a large bowl, toss together the arugula with the lemon dressing, cauliflower, and sweet potatoes. Plate the salad, and garnish with prosciutto, toasted pine nuts and shaved parmesan.
