Method:
1) Cook the cauliflower in a large saucepan of salted, boiling water until tender to the tip of a knife, 5-6 minutes.
2) Drain well and refresh in iced water. Drain again and pat dry.
3) Toast the pine nuts in a dry frying pan set over a medium heat until hot. Swirl and shake occasionally until golden-brown and aromatic. Tip out onto a plate.
4) Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, honey, and salt and pepper to taste in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the dressing is thick and emulsified.
5) Arrange the cauliflower and avocado on serving plates, topped with the pine nuts, parsley leaves, and thyme.
6) Spoon over the dressing and serve immediately with a garnish of lemon zest.
