How To Make ripe olive cauliflower salad

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 425˚F. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Place rimmed tray and toss with olive oil, shallots, and salt. Roast, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is golden, about 30 minutes.
  • Step 2
    As cauliflower roasts, melt butter in a small skillet. Add the ripe olives, herbs, and salt. Cook briefly, to warm the olives. Turn off heat and stir in the lemon juice.
  • Step 3
    When the cauliflower is done, place in a bowl with the sunflower seeds, parsley, and grain of your choice. Add the olives and half the parmesan. Toss well to combine then top with the remaining parmesan before serving.
