Description

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.

Ingredients
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, sliced
  • ½ medium red onion, chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, sliced
  • ⅓ cup pimento-stuffed green olives, cut in half
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • ⅓ cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon freeze-dried dill
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
  1. 1. Combine cauliflower, bell pepper, carrot, onion, celery, olives, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  2. 2. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, garlic, dill, and crushed pepper flakes together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour dressing over the cauliflower mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
  3. 3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
