  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 ½ cups cauliflower florets

  • 1 cup canned no-salt-added garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained

  • ¾ cup 1/2-inch carrot slices

  • ¼ cup plain fat-free yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh jalapeño chile pepper (see Tip) (Optional)

  • 1 tablespoon fat-free milk (Optional)

  • 2 cups torn red-tipped leaf lettuce

  • 1 cup packed fresh Italian parsley

  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine curry powder, olive oil and salt. Add the cauliflower, garbanzo bean and carrots; toss to coat. Spread mixture in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Roast 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring once.

  2. Meanwhile, for dressing, in a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lime juice and ginger and, if desired, jalapeño pepper. If needed, thin with milk to desired consistency.

  3. In a large bowl, combine roasted vegetables, lettuce, parsley and onion. Top with dressing; toss to coat.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
