ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH WATERCRESS, WALNUTS AND GRUYÈRE
Serves 4.
• 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
• 6 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 11/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
• 3/4 tsp. pepper, divided
• 1 tbsp. sherry vinegar
• 2 bunches watercress, large stems removed
• 1/4 lb. Gruyère cheese, diced or grated (about 1 c.)

Directions
Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl, toss together the cauliflower, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread cauliflower on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and dark golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
