This roasted cauliflower salad with adzuki beans in ginger vinaigrette is healthy and filling. It would make an especially great side for roasted chicken or grilled fish or simply just as it is. It is vegan, loaded with nutrients and low in calories as well.

- Put beans in a large bowl, cover with water and set aside to let soak for 8 hours or overnight.
- Put olive oil, grated ginger, chopped garlic, lime juice, pepper flakes, salt and pepper into a bowl and whisk to make a dressing.
- Drain beans and put in a large pot with 8 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, 45 to 60 minutes. Drain and toss with the dressing. Set aside to let cool completely.
- Put a griddle pan on a high heat. Cut the cauliflower vertically into 1cm-wide slabs. Rub the slices in oil and season. Grill in batches for eight to 10 minutes, turning halfway, until lightly toasted and tender in the middle. Transfer to a warm place and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
- Lay the cauliflowers on plates, spoon over the adzuki beans and scatter on the parsley.

Hi. I have to try this, it looks great and I have a bag of adzuki beans laying around for a while, didn't really know what to do with it.
Nice filling but at the same time not heavy meal! Looks delicious :)
I have a real thing for roasted cauliflower at the minute. This looks delicious! :)
Wow! So healthy and tasty! I love adzuki beans!
A delicious combination!

I love cauliflowers steaks and love the simplicity of this, perfect for summer. Love it!
Love your salads, Angie! They are always so creative and flavorful. Roasted cauliflower is one of my favorites and it sounds amazing with the adzuki beans and the ginger vinaigrette! I can't wait to try this!
Once again you have put together an interesting beautiful dish! I adore cauliflower and never thought to combine it with beans. Now I'm going to check out the adzuki beans - a new one for me!
What a coincidence! I just bought a can of adzuki beans yesterday. This salads is very healthy that I definitely love to try it. Thanks for sharing Angie :)
That is a good way to make cauliflower interesting to eat. I like adzuki beans.
I really like roasted cauliflowers, never had them with beans I must admit :)
Thanks
I am totally behind the cauliflower love. I just tried a recipe I really loved last week and it's got me thinking outside the box more. Love adzuki beans and I bet it'd be delicious with the mild cauliflower and that dressing. Yum!
This is new to me, would like to give it a try.
Roasted cauliflower is the only way that I can get my husband to eat cauliflower, so I will definitely be trying your version of it, it sounds great!
bice healthy combination Angie!!!

That ginger vinaigrette sounds incredible Angie! Gorgeous and tasty combination!
Cauliflower is a family favorite. Add the ginger dressing and this sounds yummy. Can't wait to try. Thanks for sharing:)
Just love your unexpected combinations: cauliflower and adzuki beans! I could see this as the meal itself for sure, maybe this week as to hot to really cook.
Yum!! I love adzuki beans. The combo with the cauliflower and ginger vinaigrette sounds so flavorful and delicious!
What a delicious dish, Angie!! I've never tried cauliflower with adzuki beans before, what a great combo! I definitely need to try this :)
Since adzuki bean is highly nutritious this could be a satisfying meal as is.
healthy and delicious! looks wonderful Angie!
What a unique recipe Angie - I would never think to pair adzuki beans with roasted cauliflower - so healthy and a wonderful combination.
Very effective looking dish Angie!
Gosh..that looks so pretty, Angie. I love it and can imagine how good this must taste! ^.^
I'd never think of combining these two ingredients, but now that I see it, the combo does seem to go well together.
I loooove cauliflower and I adore adzuki beans, but (shockingly) I've never had them together! This dish sounds perfect, love the ginger viniagrette you paired with it! I could totally eat this as a meal itself! Yum! Thanks for sharing!!
Isn't roasted cauliflower the best!? I like your preparation and this all by itself would make a satisfying meal ;)
Hi Angie, we don't eat enough cauliflower here, we all love it but I believe I probably prepare it the same way all the time. This looks fabulous, will be trying this dish for sure. Take care!
They certainly look delicious and have never thought of roasting cauliflower. So kind of you to share!
I love roasted cauliflower and adding the beans just makes it a meal.
I love roasted cauliflower and adding the beans just makes it a meal.
I love cauliflower and beans and this sounds like a perfect dinner! Can't wait to try this Angie!
What a lovely fabulous dish. Simple, yet flavorful. I love adzuki beans and haven't used them in a while, this one is so nice.
Superfood (red beans) on superfood! I like this red bean dressing. So creative. :)
I just had roasted cauliflower for dinner! This looks fantastic - love the sound of that dressing!
What a terrific combination. Nice way to perk up roasted cauliflower!
I love cauliflower! I've never heard of the adzuki beans, but I've never met a bean I haven't liked :) Great recipe, Angie!
Roasted cauliflower is delicious! Not sure I have ever heard of adzuki beans but I am positive if you posted it, its delicious.

This is quite a new way of cooking adzuki beans to me, Angie. Love to try.
I love cooking with cauliflower. I am not sure if I have heard of adzuki beans before. Sounds like the perfect side dish.
That ginger vinaigrette sounds fabulous! I know I would love this.
Sounds wonderful Angie and so out of the ordinary!
I'm sure the sweetness of the roasted cauliflower complemts the sweetness of the adzuki beans. Yummy.
I've never seen adzuki beans used in anything but red bean pastes. I love this more savory use. Great looking dish!
I love cauliflower and especially if it's grilled, roasted or fried. This is really pretty, gorgeous contrast between the beans and the white cauliflower.
What a wonderful dish with cauliflower. And aduki beans are new to me. Interesting Angie, very inventive as always!
This is such an interesting and different combination! Adzuki beans are such a cute little bean - I should use them more frequently!
This sounds delicous and healthy, bet it's really filling too.
Angie,
you have the gift to make EVERYTHING look DEEEEEEEELISH!!!
This is right up my alley, Angie! Awesome dish. Thanks for sharing :)
The only ingredient I don't have is the Adzuki beans and I just put it on my grocery list. Roasting the cauliflower must add a lovely caramelly (is that a word?) sweetness. You've done it again Angie. Thanks. Gina
Sweet combination - I love cauliflower, especially al'dente like in pasta in Italy! :)
Love this combination of flavors! You created a lovely dish, Angie! I bet it tastes amazing!
I love roasted cauliflower, and a ginger vinaigrette sounds so refreshing. Great combination!
I've only ever had red beans in desserts- would never have thought to pair it with cauliflower! This looks amazing!
This is my kind of meal! These look like cauliflower steaks! I'll have to pin this for later...sounds amazing!
What a great combination of flavours and a lovely looking salad.
Oh boy. I love cauliflower. I need to buy more cauliflower and make more recipes. Such a good veggie. The beans makes this a protein pack recipe. Great for post workout meals :-)
excellente idée et jolie combinaison
bonne soirée
Looks superb Angie, and for once I have all the ingredients, going to try this soon..
this looks wonderful and satisfying
Cauliflower is such a wonderful veggie, with such a great flavor punch. How smart of you to add the adzuki beans for a good dose of protein! Perfect for a meatless meal, Angie!!!
i'm pretty sure i haven't tried adzuki beans! since i've never encountered a bean i didn't like, though, i'm confident i'd find them great, especially atop cauliflower!
I also love the flavor of roasted cauliflower but never ate it with these special black beans before!
A must try for sure! :) xxxx
Ooh,that ginger dressing sounds fabulous Angie. This is a lovely idea for a light evening meal.
It looks tasty! I must cook it :)
