If you ask us which recipe in this book you should start with for a delicious dinner tonight, we would probably say this one. It has interesting flavours – sweet, warm and spicy – and is nourishing but not heavy, and impressive without being weird or complicated.
We have made this salad on countless occasions and it always seems right. It doesn’t matter if it’s a regular Tuesday or a family birthday dinner, everyone seems to enjoy the fragrant cauliflower, tahini-dressed lentils, toasted almonds, sweet dates and greens.
