    Wanted a special salad for NYE dinner and this was perfect.

    I always leave out the pistachios because of an allergy, and otherwise make as written. Very delicious. Was good to bring to a Christmas eve potluck - the red of the pomegranate seeds against all the green looked very festive!

    Absolutely delicious - wonderful textures, flavours, colours. I found the leaves a little tough, perhaps my cauliflower was too big or the leaves I used were too large, but I will leave them out next time.

    Needs extra lemon, salt and maybe a touch more olive oil but we really liked this dish. Super fresh and light (yet filling) with great texture.

    A good salad, the cauliflower leaves were a great addition. I would make my roasted cauliflower pieces smaller next time. I don't think the tarragon was overly necessary. could substitute another nut as I didn't taste the pistachios too much.

    Great salad with nice textures! The parts can be prepped in advance and then combined right before serving. I agree with it being a bit under-seasoned as is. Fortunately, that's easy to fix.

    2-1-2019 I liked the mix of textures in this salad. As written, however, I found it underseasoned and dry. I ended up adding more lemon, more oil, and more salt. With those changes, the salad was quite good.

    Not being a fan of raw cauliflower, I was skeptical but tried this recipe based on the good reviews. It was fantastic! I didn't have tarragon, so I just used parsley and mint. Unusual combination of ingredients, but it really works.

    A fabulous combination and very easy to put together. I have substituted barberries for the pomegranate seeds which also worked very well.

    This was a big hit with my family. Lots of great, diverse textures and tastes that come together nicely with the simple dressing. Would definitely make this again.
