Cauliflower with Serrano Ham and Tomato

This Mediterranean-inspired cauliflower with serrano ham and tomato is a vibrant way to elevate a humble vegetable. By briefly boiling the cauliflower until tender-crisp and tossing it with a warm dressing of salty ham, sweet cherry tomatoes, and bright lemon, you create a dish that is bursting with savoury flavour. It is a wonderful example of how high-quality ingredients can transform a simple side into something truly special for any occasion.

As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this dish is naturally low in carbohydrates while being rich in vitamin C and fibre. The combination of healthy fats from the extra-virgin olive oil and the lean protein from the serrano ham makes it a satisfying choice for a light lunch or a nutritious dinner accompaniment. Serve it alongside grilled chicken or enjoy it on its own as a wholesome, seasonal salad.
