Directions

2. Prepare the dressing by whisking olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper together.
3. Drizzle the dressing over grilled cauliflower and mix well. Serve the roasted cauliflower salad warm or cold. Enjoy!

How to choose and buy cauliflower
How to choose the best cauliflower: At your grocery store or farmers market, look for a firm, white head of cauliflower with green leaves, and minimal brown spots on the leaves and the head itself.
How to prepare the roasted cauliflower salad
Try and cut the cauliflower florets into a uniform size to ensure even cooking.
How to store the roasted cauliflower salad
Keep your leftover cauliflower salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note that if you want to reheat the cauliflower salad, it will get less crunchy than when it’s freshly made.
How to make the cauliflower salad ahead
Prepare the dressing in a mason jar and keep in your refrigerator until ready to serve. You can rinse and cut the cauliflower into florets, then keep in paper towels until ready to cook. If you’d like to enjoy it cold, the salad can be made up to one day in advance, keeping the dressing on the side for the last minute.
