Test Kitchen Tips

Steaming the cauliflower is key to this recipe. It not only softens the cauliflower flavor, it also helps it absorb the curry flavor so it becomes more pronounced.

Keep salad in the refrigerator (below 40°F) until the very last moment. The longer a salad sits out at room temperature, the more time bacteria has to grow. And make sure to never leave anything out longer than 2 hours (or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°F). If serving the salad outside, place your salad on top of another bowl filled with ice to help keep it chilled.

Instructions

Place cauliflower florets in a microwave-safe bowl with about ½-inch of water.

Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; microwave on high until florets are just tender, 35 minutes. Drain cauliflower; let cool slightly.

Add chickpeas, apples, raisins, and cilantro to cauliflower.

Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, onion, curry powder, garlic salt, cumin, and chili powder; stir into cauliflower mixture until combined. Top salad with pine nuts before serving; serve immediately or chill.
