Making the Roasted Cauliflower Salad is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Cauliflower: In a large mixing bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Roast Cauliflower: Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and golden brown, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

5. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the roasted cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
6. Add Nuts: If desired, sprinkle with toasted almonds or walnuts for an extra crunch.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your salad warm or let it cool slightly before serving as a chilled dish.
