Notes

  1. Cut the cauliflower into bite-size pieces. 
  2. Do not overcook the cauliflower, it should be fork-tender. Overcooking will cause the cauliflower to lose some of its flavor and nutrients.
  3. Rinse with cold water when it is done cooking to stop the cooking process.
  4. Make the salad the same day you are serving it.
  5. Store leftover in the refrigerator.
