Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
  2. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  3. ½ cup red onion, thinly sliced
  4. ¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  5. 2 tbsp capers
  6. ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  7. 2 tbsp olive oil
  8. 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  9. 1 tsp dried oregano
  10. ½ tsp garlic powder
  11. Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets until tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, capers, and fresh parsley.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  • Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to marinate.

 

  • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the seasonings (salt, pepper, and oregano) based on your personal preferences.
  • For a variation, try adding some roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for an extra layer of flavor.
  • This salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

 

  • If you prefer a bit more crunch, serve it right after mixing, as the cauliflower will absorb the dressing the longer it sits.
