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.
Cut up 1 head of cauliflower into medium bite-sized florets.
Place cauliflower on a large baking sheet and add 2 tablespoon of olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the bottoms of the florets are golden brown.
Meanwhile, add ½ cup dried currants, ¼ cup capers, the juice from 1 lemon, ½ teaspoon garlic paste, 1 tablespoon honey, ½ cup parsley and olive oil to a bowl and mix.
Once cauliflower is done, remove it from the oven and immediately add the caper vinaigrette on top and toss.
Once plated, top with 3 oz crumbled feta cheese and the zest from 1 orange.
Serve immediately or at room temp.
