Tips

If you are using frozen cauliflower florets, increase the roasting time or allow to defrost thoroughly before cooking them.
Spinach or kale are great alternatives to wild rocket. They can also be used in combination for a more flavourful salad.
If you can't find roasted almond flakes, just chop regular almonds and roast in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes.
If you want to make a meal out of it, you can add tofu or shredded chicken as a source of protein.
