I made a variation of this last night, using boiled cauliflower which is preferred at our house.
There are tons of other cauliflower & date recipes online, including some with zaa’tar, tahini, cumin, honey, parsley, gremolata, etc.
I decided to keep it simple last night, just dates, lemon, chili and olive oil, no nuts.
I might try this cauliflower steak with date syrup some time
Or this one
Also might try this (no dates) https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/cauliflower-salad-yogurt-sauce-and-pomegranate
