Savory Dressed Cauliflower and Capers Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 small head fresh cauliflower, cleaned and cut into florets
• 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup light olive oil
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 garlic clove, smashed or minced
• 1 Tbsp small capers
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp kosher salt
• fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare an ice bath with a big bowl with ice and water and set in the sink.
2. Bring a big pot of water and salt to a rapid boil, add the cauliflower and the lemon juice, cover and turn the heat down to simmer for about 5 to 8 minutes, or until cauliflower is just fork tender. Drain and dump cauliflower into an ice bath to cool. When cold, remove with a slotted spoon to a colander and drain well. Put in a big salad bowl.
3. Prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, capers, paprika, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt.
4. Pour over the cauliflower in the salad bowl and toss together well.
5. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
6. Let the salad sit for 15 minutes at room temperature before serving.
7. Serve in individual salad bowls with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on each salad. You’ll have enough salad for 4 to 6 bowls.
