ITALIAN ROMANESCO CAULIFLOWER SALAD



Italian Romanesco Cauliflower Salad image

This is a traditional salad from Naples, known as Insalata di Rinforzo, which is typically served at Christmas time. It's lovely and colorful as it uses cauliflower, lime green Romanesco and dark green broccoli and is jazzed up with olives and red pickled peppers. It is served with a lemon-based vinaigrette and sometimes anchovies and capers.

MARINATED ITALIAN SALAD



Marinated Italian Salad image

This is a perfect salad for potlucks and other occasions year-round. In winter, the ingredients are available when many other vegetables aren't in season...and in summer, it's a worry-free picnic food since it doesn't have a mayonnaise-based dressing.
