Roast Cauliflower and Quinoa Salad

In Winter, root vegetables might rule, but cauliflower is a nice alternative to all of the turnips, potatoes, and parsnips. The underused veggie tastes great roasted in this warm cauliflower and quinoa salad. I love the contrast of color that the tomato paste gives the dish.
