Zesty Cauliflower Antipasto Salad image

Light and refreshing Italian-themed summer salad that replaces pasta with cauliflower. I typically make my own salad dressing but found that olive oil solidifies when refrigerated and bottled dressing works best in this. It also adds a ton of flavor, cutting down on the ingredient list. This is a great side dish for a summertime BBQ or picnic. Serve cold or at room temperature.

I'm not a fan of olives, so I left them out of this salad and it was still delicious.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover cauliflower. I had some roasted cauliflower in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.
