Chilled Cauliflower a La Grecque image

From a daily cookbook but I pulled it out and tossed the book a long time ago. It says that blanching takes the "bite" out of the cauliflower. Chilling the cauliflower longer, only enhances the flavor. For me the radishes are optional because I'm not fond of them. Note: There is a 3 hour marination so you can make at least 3 hours ahead of serving.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cauliflower was overcooked and the flavors were not well-balanced.

I found that this recipe was a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and lemon juice, which helped to improve the flavor.
