SPICY MARINATED CAULIFLOWER SALAD
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!

This is a traditional salad from Naples, known as Insalata di Rinforzo, which is typically served at Christmas time. It's lovely and colorful as it uses cauliflower, lime green Romanesco and dark green broccoli and is jazzed up with olives and red pickled peppers. It is served with a lemon-based vinaigrette and sometimes anchovies and capers.
