3. 3.For the Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk vinegar, thyme, honey, and Dijon to combine. Slowly pour in while whisking the oil until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add roasted vegetables, chopped raw cauliflower, and 2 tablespoons parsley leaves, and toss to combine well. Sprinkle with nuts and remaining fresh parsley leaves. Serve.
