Cauliflower
Wash the cauliflower and divide it into florets
Mix the ingredients for the breading (everything but cornflakes and sesame seeds)
Smash the cornflakes and mix them with the sesame seeds
Coat the cauliflower florets first in the breading and then in the cornflakes
Place them on a baking paper and bake them crispy for 30-40 minutes at 180-200°C (356-392°F), turn them around after halftime
Dressing
Add all ingredients into a mixer and mix them into a creamy dressing

Wash the salad and cut it into pieces
Grind or slice the parmesan
Cut the cucumber into slices
Place the salad and the cucumber into a large bowl, mix them with the dressing and cover them with the chickpeas, cauliflower and parmesan
Notes
Instead of the garlic clove you can also use garlic powder for the dressing, in order to make it less intense
