MARINATED CAULIFLOWER AND CARROTS WITH MINT
This is an elaboration of one of my favorite carrot dishes. That dish couldn't be simpler - steamed carrots tossed with sherry vinegar, olive oil, salt and fresh mint. It is good at room temperature or warm, as a starter or a side dish. I added steamed cauliflower to the mix but made no other changes to the formula. The cauliflower, which always loves a vinegar marinade, is a wonderful addition, very compatible with the carrots and pretty, too. The dish is great for a buffet as it only gets better as it sits. The dish is particularly beautiful if you use different colored carrots.

Steps:
- Place carrots and cauliflower in a steamer above 1 inch of boiling water, cover and steam 5 to 8 minutes, until both vegetables are tender but not too soft. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add salt and pepper, and toss with vinegar and olive oil. Allow to cool slightly, then toss with mint. Serve warm or at room temperature. If serving warm, just before serving heat in a pan over medium heat, preferably before adding mint.
