Best Cauliflower Olive Antipasto Salad Recipes

ZESTY CAULIFLOWER ANTIPASTO SALAD

Zesty Cauliflower Antipasto Salad image

Light and refreshing Italian-themed summer salad that replaces pasta with cauliflower. I typically make my own salad dressing but found that olive oil solidifies when refrigerated and bottled dressing works best in this. It also adds a ton of flavor, cutting down on the ingredient list. This is a great side dish for a summertime BBQ or picnic. Serve cold or at room temperature.
