Lemon Marinated Fioretto Salad
Light, crisp, sweet, tangy -- this lovely vegan salad will wow your palate as an appetizer or entrée
2/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. garlic, minced
2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. whole grain mustard
½ tsp. chili paste
½ tsp. salt
A few turns freshly ground pepper
½ lb. Fioretto cauliflower
2 cups micro greens
¾ cup red bell pepper, diced
¼ cup onion, diced
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil, garlic, sugar, mustard, chile paste and salt. Pour this into a large, zip-lock bag and add the Fioretto. (If the Fioretto isn't already in bite-sized pieces, you can slice the florets lengthwise, in half or in fourths.) Remove the air form the bag, seal it, and move the Fioretto around to be sure it's all well coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to overnight. Drain the marinated Fioretto, SAVING the marinade. Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine it with the micro greens, bell pepper and onion. Add as much of the marinade back as desired, and save the rest for another time. Serve!
