Cauliflower Antipasto Salad
This is one of those salads that taste good right away, and it's even better when it marinates for a little while. If you're not a fan of bitter radicchio, you can substitute chopped romaine hearts or iceberg, although I would add those lettuces close to serving time so they don't wilt too much.
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium cauliflower
- 1 small head radicchio, halved and shredded
- I cup marinated baby artichoke quarters, halved lengthwise
- 1 cup bocconcini (bite-size mozzarella balls), halved
- 2 ounces salami, thinly sliced
- 1 cup pitted green olives, such as Castelvetrano, halved
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Pinch of dried oregano
- 1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Chop the cauliflower so you have pieces that will fit when you hold themlengthwise so it looks like little trees. Transfer the slices to a large bowl. Add the radicchio, artichokes, bocconcini, salami and olives and toss. Add the vinegar, oil and oregano and toss again. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano over the salad and toss. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then serve. You can make the salad up to 6 hours in advance. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
