Time P1DT45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 head cauliflower, cut into very small florets
1 cup champagne vinegar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 big shakes hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 bay leaves
1/2 pound chanterelles, cleaned and pulled into bite-size pieces
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Crushed red pepper flakes
1 small bulb fennel, sliced very thin on the mandoline, reserve fronds for serving
1 small spring onion, julienned
2 cups washed baby arugula
Good quality finishing oil

Steps:

  • Pickled cauliflower:
  • Combine all the ingredients in covered container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • Salad:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a small baking pan add the mushrooms, oil, salt, and crushed red pepper, to taste, and toss to coat. Roast until the mushrooms are soft and golden around the edges, about 12 to 15 minutes
  • Toss together the mushrooms, fennel, onion, arugula, fennel fronds, and pickled cauliflower in a large bowl. Toss with some big fat finishing oil and a little of the pickling liquid. Taste and add salt, if needed. The salad should be very flavorful without being soggy. Arrange on individual serving plates and serve.
  • What a salad- it's springtime on a plate!
  • The pickled cauliflower adds a lot to this salad but it is a MUST DO ahead. Also, a big batch of these can be made and reserved in the refrigerator

This salad is a bit too time-consuming to make for a weeknight meal.

I found the marinade to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I would have liked the cauliflower to be a bit more tender.

This is a great recipe for a potluck or party. It's easy to make ahead of time and can be served at room temperature.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but this salad changed my mind. The pickling process really mellows out the flavor and makes it more palatable.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out amazing! It's a great balance of sweet, sour, and savory. The cauliflower remained crispy, and the chanterelles and fennel added a wonderful depth of flavor.

This pickled cauliflower salad is a delightful symphony of flavors! The tangy marinade perfectly complements the crunchy cauliflower, while the chanterelles and fennel add a touch of earthy elegance. I highly recommend it as a refreshing side dish or
