Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad
This Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad is inspired by Sicily's bold, bright, acidic, and sweet flavors. Simple oven roasted cauliflower is tossed with a tasty vinaigrette made with dried currants, capers, parsley, lemon, garlic and honey. I like to add feta and orange zest on top because I love cheese way too much.
