• Place the cauliflower florets in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. Pulse a few times until the cauliflower turns rice-like in texture.
• Transfer the finely chopped cauliflower into a larger bowl. Add the parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Give the salad a quick toss to combine.
• Now, add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Finish with fresh lemon juice and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (about 2 tbsp). Give the salad one more good toss to combine.
• For best results, set the cauliflower salad aside for a few minutes before serving to allow the cauliflower to soften and absorb some of the dressing. You can also cover and chill for later. Enjoy!

ITALIAN ROASTED CAULIFLOWER SALAD

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, if desired. Pull the leaves off of the cauliflower base. Cut off the lower part of the stem.
• Cut the head of cauliflower into four quarters.
• Slice each quarter into 6-8 pieces. You want as many flat surfaces as possible on each floret-- the flat surfaces caramelize best. Caramelization is the key to giving the roasted cauliflower flavor-- those golden, sugary juices take this veggie from good to amazing.
• Give all the florets a thorough rinse in a colander. Shake them dry.
• Place the florets in a large bowl and drizzle them with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the minced garlic florets to the bowl. Toss the cauliflower florets till they're coated with olive oil and minced garlic.
• Spread the florets out in an even layer on the baking sheet. Reserve any small bits of cauliflower that have fallen away from the florets in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cauliflower florets lightly with pepper.Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the cauliflower roast for 10 minutes. While cauliflower is roasting, prep your other ingredients-- chop the parsley, juice the lemon, etc.
• After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use tongs to turn over the florets, making sure that the florets with flat surfaces are pressed directly against the baking sheet. This will enhance caramelization. Sprinkle the reserved cauliflower bits onto the baking sheet. Return the baking sheet to the oven. Let the cauliflower roast for 10-20 minutes longer till tender. When it's ready you will be able to pierce it easily with a fork.Remove the cauliflower from the oven. Spread it out on a large plate or platter and allow to cool.
• Throw the room temperature cauliflower into a salad bowl along with the remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil, parsley, chopped olives, capers, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes are very spicy, add with care.
• Toss gently to combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I didn't add any salt because the olives and capers are salty, but some might like a touch of salt added to this dish). You can also add more olive oil to taste, if desired.
• Serve salad at room temperature. Italians like to serve this salad with warm freshly baked bread and copious amounts of olive oil. Served on its own the way I've described here, it is gluten free, low carb, and heart healthy.

CAULIFLOWER SALAD

• Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and add in tomatoes, scallions, cucumber, parsely, mint, garbanzo beans and olives.

CRUNCHY CAULIFLOWER AND CASHEW SALAD

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the cauliflower florets and cook until the cauliflower is soft and releases easily when pierced with a knife, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander and spread out on a baking sheet. Pat the cauliflower dry with a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel, then set aside and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, horseradish, mayonnaise, chives, cider vinegar, celery, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
• Fold the cauliflower into the dressing and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

• Break the cauliflower into florets, discarding the central stem. Slice them thinly and put them in a bowl. Toss with the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, tarragon, garlic and lemon zest. Squeeze over lemon juice to taste. Drizzle in some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the quantities to suit your tastes.

HERBY CAULIFLOWER SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Cut away leaves and the core from the cauliflower. Then cut or pull the cauliflower apart into little florets and add to a large bowl. Chop longer stems into small pieces, and then add to the bowl with florets.
• Season with 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and then toss the cauliflower around the bowl until all the florets have had a chance to be seasoned.
• To make the dressing, whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt together until creamy and emulsified.
• Add the chickpeas, herbs, pickled onions, and the dressing to the cauliflower. Toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste, and then season with additional salt, pepper or lemon juice.
• The cauliflower salad does taste best when given some time to marinate. When possible, let the salad marinate, stirring from time to time, for at least 30 minutes before serving. The salad will keep, covered in the refrigerator, up to one week.
