CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH CAPERS, PARSLEY AND VINEGAR
This tangy winter salad is likely to convert anyone who doubts just how good cauliflower can be. Make sure you steam the cauliflower until thoroughly tender so that it absorbs the dressing. The dish is lovely with a mix of colorful cauliflowers, but can look nice with the standard white variety.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- For the cauliflower salad: Remove the core and leaves from the cauliflower, then use your hands and a knife to break apart and coarsely chop the florets into about 2- to 3-inch pieces. Spread on a baking sheet and drizzle generously with the oil. Season with salt. Toss to coat, then roast until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crisp around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the caper vinaigrette: Combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, vinegar, parsley, capers, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the dates, almonds, cranberries and capers. Pour in about 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Taste and add additional dressing as desired (you won't need all of it). Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper flakes if desired and serve warm.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: Look for a head of cauliflower that is compact and heavy for its size, with tightly closed florets. Avoid heads with any signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Roast the cauliflower properly: To get the best flavor and texture, roast the cauliflower at a high temperature (400°F or higher) until it is tender and slightly charred. Keep an eye on the cauliflower so that it doesn't burn.
- Make the caper vinaigrette ahead of time: The vinaigrette can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and better quality your ingredients are, the better your salad will taste. Use fresh herbs, good quality olive oil, and flavorful capers.
- Serve the salad warm: This salad is best served warm, so that the flavors can meld together. If you're making the salad ahead of time, reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
This warm cauliflower salad with caper vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted cauliflower is tender and flavorful, and the caper vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor. This salad is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
