The Casual Gourmet - Phillis Carey

Jan. 6, 2008 - Spanish Cauliflower Salad

Here's a great winter vegetable salad.  I've made it twice now and it is just different enough to go well with anything.  If you can find Pomegranate Vinegar (Trader Joe's sold it last year but now they only have Grapefruit vinegar) use it otherwise a red wine, sherry or balsamic vinegar are tasty too.

Spanish Cauliflower Salad
Serves 6.

1 small head cauliflower, cut into small florets
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 T. minced hard-cooked egg (optional)
1 T. minced fresh Italian parsley

Dressing:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar (or pomegranate or balsamic)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. paprika
1 T. small capers, rinsed and drained
Dash cayenne pepper
Salt to taste

1. Rinse cauliflower florets and place in a glass casserole.  Sprinkle with lemon juice and cook, covered, in the microwave oven on HIGH power for 7 minutes or until just barely tender.  Drain and rinse in cool water.

2. For dressing, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and paprika.  Stir in the capers and season with cayenne and salt.

3. Pour dressing over cauliflower and let marinate several hours or overnight in the refrigerator.  Serve sprinkled with egg and parsley.
