Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the cauliflower florets with avocado oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden and just starting to char in a few spots.

  3. While the cauliflower is baking, make the sauce: whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl, along with 2 to 3 tablespoons of water, or enough to get to a thick but pourable consistency.

  4. When the cauliflower is done, transfer to a bowl and drizzle with half of the dressing, along with the dates and pistachios. Toss gently, and add more dressing to taste.

  5. Garnish with fresh dill and mint, and serve immediately! Enjoy.

  6. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
