Ras el hanout is a North African spice mix con­sist­ing of a plethora of ingre­di­ents, pri­mar­ily, cin­na­mon, cumin, corian­der, all spice, pep­per, and gin­ger. Along with a touch of turmeric, this sea­son­ing is well-matched with fresh cau­li­flower and per­fectly roasted with the assis­tance of a robust extra vir­gin olive oil. Other North African sta­ples are added to this salad as well: dried fruit, nuts, fresh herbs, and greens. A sim­ple, uncon­structed dress­ing made up of tahini, lemon juice, and extra vir­gin olive oil is driz­zled over the top of this salad.
