Cauliflower and Grilled Bell Pepper Salad
It’s very important not to let the cauliflower in water once its cooked. If it air cools, it gets dry and absorbs more dressing than if it soaks in water. If possible, let this salad rest and our before serving.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower
- 2 red peppers
- ¼ fennel bulb
- 12 black olives
- 2 Tbsp capers, drained
