Preparation
- Step 1
Place a large, rimmed baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and heat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with 3 tablespoons of oil, 2 teaspoons curry powder and a large pinch of salt. Massage the cauliflower to separate it into individual florets and coat it evenly in oil. Carefully spread onto the hot baking sheet and roast until cooked through and charred in spots, about 20 minutes. Turn the broiler on high and cook until cauliflower is deep brown and charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Step 3
While the cauliflower roasts, toast the walnuts: In a small skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, the walnuts and a pinch of salt, and cook, frequently stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 3 teaspoons curry powder, turn off the heat and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Step 4
In a large bowl, stir together the apple, lemon zest and juice, and a large pinch of salt. Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, raisins, cilantro, parsley and the walnut mixture, taking care to scrape in all of the oil and curry, and stir to combine.
- Step 5
Add the cauliflower and toss until well combined; season with salt to taste. (The cauliflower salad will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.)
- Step 6
Divide the cauliflower salad among the rolls and press firmly to close. Eat sandwiches immediately, or up to 12 hours later, storing refrigerated if not eating within the hour.

try adding some garbanzos if you need this to be a "complete meal"
Delicious! Would taste better if the curry is stir fried in oil before adding to the cauliflower. Baking alone still leaves a slightly raw taste.
This was delicious. I will add celery next time and possibly a bit of chutney (as Ina Garten does in her curried chicken salad).
Loved this recipe! I added a can of black lentils, and a pinch of sugar to bring out the curry flavor. I swapped the nuts for chopped celery (I didn’t think the taste of the walnuts justified the toasting step). Also used golden raisins instead of regular, for more flavor! Have made this many times :)
I thought the salad was ok - I might even make it again. Putting it on bread made it seem like I was eating a midnight refrigerator raid snack. Hers some salad, why not put it on bread? It just doesn't work for me.
This was (in a word) amazing! Seriously. WAY better than anticipated. Who knew cauliflower could be so delicious and interesting and in a sandwich!? I don't like fruit in food, so I left out the raisins and apple. Instead, I added green onions and dill. I also reduced the oil and mayo a bit and used half curry powder and half garam masala. WOW! Try this today!
