Cauliflower Salad 
Ingredients:
1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
½ cup red onion, finely chopped
½ cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
½ cup black olives, sliced
½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
For the Dressing:
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Cauliflower:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
Mix the Salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, black olives, feta cheese (if using), and parsley.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Combine and Serve:
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
