Warm Cauliflower Salad

It was early Saturday morning and my "Honey Bunny" and I were watching the news before we started our day.Chef Marco Canora a restaurateur and cookbook author, was the featured Chef on the cooking segment. He prepared this Warm Cauliflower Salad with Caper Vinaigrette. We talked about how delicious  the salad would be and decided to try it... we were so excited about the salad I wanted to share it with you.

Warm Cauliflower Salad With Caper Vinaigrette
Prepared In Miz Helen's Kitchen
By Miz Helen
1 head cauliflowers
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
For The Vinaigrette
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped capers
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
pinch of salt
coarsely ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with salt until it tastes like the ocean
Add sliced red onion to a large mixing bowl. Boil cauliflower to your taste, strain.
Add hot cauliflower to mixing bowl. Mix together all ingredients for vinaigrette and dress cauliflower and onion with vinaigrette, salt and pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature. It is important to dress while hot.
Recipe Tip
We had about 2 servings left over and I served it the next day for lunch, cold on a lettuce leaf. It was delicious. I am already planning on this as a cold summer salad for those great evening dinners on the patio.

  8. I love how simple and tasty this looks! I think if I made it I would use less red onion as I'm not a huge raw onion fan, but other than that it looks fabulous!
