Simple cauliflower salad dressed in a homemade vinegar dressing that is a perfect side for a summertime BBQ, picnic, or potluck. My inspiration came from my love of giardiniera. Feel free to omit the crushed red pepper flakes for a non-spicy version.

MARINATED ROMANESCO AND CAULIFLOWER SALAD
A broccoli salad recipe I played with. Printed in First magazine, June 1998. You could also substitute broccoflower for the romanesco. References online describe the romanesco as looking like a cross between a wedding cake and a star fish! Similar to cauliflower and cooked in much the same way, but it has a nuttier flavor. Do give it a try! It's a shame to have to chop the romanesco up for this recipe! Another way to serve it is to steam the romanesco whole with just the lower stalk cut off and florets left intact. Talk about a presentation! Add a drizzle of lemon juice or butter; sprinkle of salt and pepper. Oh yes!

Steps:
- Prepare the dressing in a non-reactive bowl by whisking the ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
- Lightly blanch the romanesco and cauliflower in a large pot of boiling water, only until the romanesco is brightly colored. Immediately plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Transfer the blanched vegetables, carrots (and chilies if using) to a salad bowl and pour the salad dressing over them. Cover.
- Best if salad is prepared several hours in advance to allow the vegetables to marinate.
- *Important*: stir in the cilantro leaves just before serving.

Tips and Tricks:
- For the best results, choose fresh and firm cauliflower and broccoli florets. Look for vibrant green broccoli and cauliflower with tightly closed florets. - Cutting the vegetables into bite-sized pieces ensures even cooking and allows for better absorption of the marinade. - If you don't have time to marinate the vegetables for the full 30 minutes, even a short marination time of 15 minutes will impart some flavor. - To achieve a crispy texture, roast the vegetables at a high temperature of 425°F (220°C). Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. - For a more flavorful marinade, use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and spices. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. - If you like your vegetables tender, roast them for a shorter amount of time. For a more caramelized and crispy texture, roast them for a longer period.Conclusion:
This marinated cauliflower and broccoli salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors and flavors, it's sure to be a hit at your next gathering. The marinade infuses the vegetables with a zesty and savory flavor, while the roasting process caramelizes them, creating a slightly crispy texture. Serve this salad warm or at room temperature with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor. Try experimenting with different marinades and roasting times to create your own unique variation of this versatile dish.
