How to Prepare Roasted Cauliflower Salad With Miso Pear Dressing [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Toss cauliflower florets with olive oil and one tablespoon tamari and spread out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Roasted in the oven until lightly crispy and brown, about 20 minutes. Toss the seeds with a splash of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of tamari and add to the baking sheet with the cauliflower. Return everything to the oven to crisp for another 10 minutes. Once the seeds are crackling, remove and let cool.
For the dressing add all the ingredients except the oil to a small blender and being blending. Pour in the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Add a splash of water if needed for desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Add a drizzle of heat resistant oil to a hot pan, toss in the kale leaves with a good pinch of salt. Sautée the leaves until just some are starting to get crispy around the edges. Remove from heat. Alternatively, the kale can be added in raw.
Combine kale and rice in a large salad bowl. Top with fresh pear slices and tamari roasted cauliflower and seeds. Add dressing and serve.
