​As we get ready for the July 4th holiday, I hope you all are planning to celebrate in a safe way.  Swimming, water balloons with a couple of sparklers and lots of delicious potluck foods are the way to go.  I recently found a delicious and healthy salad that is not your “run of the mill” summer salad.  It’s low carb, vegetable centric, great for the hot weather and will taste better the longer it stays in the fridge. 

​Sicilian Cauliflower Salad

Here are my notes:
  • Make sure you cut up the cauliflower into bite size pieces.  If you think a piece might be too big, trim it up a bit.  When I made this salad, my pieces were a bit too chubby.
  • Reduce the olive oil and red wine vinegar by 50%.  The roasted red peppers, olives and capers have been soaked in brine, so they bring a lot of flavor to the dish.  You need less dressing than called for here.  (You can always add more dressing if need be). 
  • When you blanche the cauliflower and then put it in an ice bath, salt the ice bath or else you will just wash away the salt from your blanching liquid.
  • I love chickpeas so next time I will add an extra can. 
  • I also added sweet cherry peppers because I am obsessed with them.  They were a delicious addition.
  • Finally, I had some fresh basil in my garden box so I topped the salad with that as well. 
Enjoy your July 4th holiday!  Be patriotic - save a life of a fellow American - social distance, wear a mask and don't drink & drive!
