Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups cauliflower florets
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (~10oz)
2 cups chopped carrots (~4 medium carrots)
1 cucumber, seeded then chopped

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons minced shallots

salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the Vinaigrette: add ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid or bowl then shake or whisk to combine. Taste then add more salt, pepper, and/or oil if necessary (this dressing is very tart so add more oil if it's too tart for your tastes.)
