This salad is beautiful just as it is, but if you wish to jazz it up a little, consider sprinkling other flavours on top before serving: freshly chopped coriander, freshly sliced chilli, roasted pistachios, crumbled pan fried pancetta, prosciutto or cabanossi … yum! Or you can try my favourite … a decent sprinkling of Spiced Nuts (see here).
- Start with two decent cauliflowers
- Wash and spin dry
- In baking sheet and dressed with olive oil
- Garlic and herbs to be chopped
- All done and ready to add to baked cauliflower
- Herbs and cauliflower tossed together
- Cauliflower dressed, seasoned and ready to serve
- … or consider adding some toppings
- … but my favourite is Spiced Nuts which can be found on this site
