Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup green olives pitted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers drained
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
  2. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the blanched cauliflower with Kalamata olives, green olives, capers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
  4. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss gently to ensure everything is coated evenly. Allow to sit for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
