Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch for 1-2 minutes until bright white but still crisp.
- Transfer the florets to an ice bath to halt cooking and preserve crunch and color. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Drain the cauliflower in a colander to remove excess water. Gently pat dry with a towel.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the blanched cauliflower, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, black olives, green olives, and chopped parsley.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently until each piece is coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the salad to marinate.
- Remove from refrigerator, toss gently, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve chilled or at room temperature.
