• Mince the garlic. Wash and drain the capers. Pit the olives, and coarsely chop them.
• When the cauliflower is firm but tender, drain and place in a bowl. Pour the wine over it, and add the garlic, capers, olives, oil and vinegar. Cover and allow to marinate until serving time.

Steps:

• Toss cauliflower in olive oil, then add vinegar and toss again.
• Add remaining ingredients and toss.
• Refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

Steps:

• Trim the leaves and core from: 1 medium cauliflower.
• Break apart or cut into small florets. Cook until just done in salted boiling water. Drain and let cool.
• Stir together in a large bowl: Juice of 1 lemon, Salt, Fresh-ground black pepper.
• Whisk in: 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
• Add the cauliflower and toss with the dressing. Taste and add salt and lemon as needed. Add: 1/4 cup olives, pitted and coarsely chopped, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped.
• Toss gently.
• Variations
• Leave out the capers and add 1/4 cup sliced radishes.
• Instead of-or in addition to-parsley, try marjoram, basil, or mint.

Steps:

• Dressing -- In a small bowl, mix the milk, mayo, parmesan, lemon juice, worcestershire, parsley, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready for use.
• Bacon -- In a small sauce pan over medium heat, saute the bacon until crispy and brown. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain. Keep for later.
• Vegetables -- Bring a large pot of water to a medium rolling boil. Salt well. Add the broccoli and cook 3-4 minutes until slightly tender, not soft. We are just blanching them. Remove and immediately immerse to a bowl filled with ice water and ice cubes. You want to stop the cooking process and keep the bright green color. Remove after a minute or so and let drain on a paper towel lined plate.
• Do the same for the cauliflower. Again, drain well.
• Salad -- Now I prefer this salad room temperature or even warm, but you can easily serve this chilled. You can warm up the vegetables right in the microwave for just a minute or so, or you them as soon as they are blanched, or even just served them chilled. Either way, they are all equally as good.
• Finish -- Just toss the broccoli, cauliflower, olives, fennel and onion in a medium size bowl, and mix to combine. Then add in a little dressing at a time until you reach the consistency you prefer. Some like it more creamy than others, so just add as much dressing as you like.
• Serve -- Just garnish with the bacon and you can also add fresh grated parmesan if you want.
• ENJOY!
