A wonderfully addictive vegan and gluten-free Cauliflower kale salad recipe with buckwheat, caramelized cauliflower, spinach, spring onions, golden raisins and a magical turmeric dressing for a bright finish. Roasted buckwheat on top provides a final crunch. This cauliflower salad with cooked buckwheat, kale and this wonderful dressing is our new winter salad. It is a combination of Asian and regional German cuisine, which fuses inexpensive local ingredients with the taste of Asian flavors into something new.

This salad recipe does require some cooking, but you can make the roasted cauliflower and buckwheat ahead of time and pack it for later, as the salad tastes just as good served warm. I love buckwheat because it’s easy to prepare, local, organic and gluten-free. It tastes great in this Cauliflower Buckwheat Salad.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy buckwheat is roasted (I briefly explained how to do this, last in the recipe). Deliciously nutty, they add a wonderful crunch to salads, and despite its name, buckwheat is gluten-free. Buckwheat is also super cheap compared to imported quinoa and contains more protein than rice, millet or corn. Buckwheat is a worthy addition to any vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free pantry.

This salad is perfect for serving when guests come over. For example, now at Christmas, you can make vegan friends happy. But here is an idea as a side salad for Sunday lunch. Also, the cauliflower and kale salad with turmeric dressing is so filling that it can be enjoyed as a weeknight dinner or for an easy lunch to take to the office. The salad keeps incredibly well in the fridge.
