Chef notes

Raw cauliflower has an incredible crunch and hearty, satisfying texture. Serve this flavorful salad as a side dish or for a light vegetarian lunch.

Preparation

In a food processor fitted with the slicing disk add the cauliflower and process. Work in batches and empty the shaved cauliflower into a mixing bowl when it gets too full. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, capers, vinegar and olive oil. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste. Pour dressing over shaved cauliflower. Add raisins, sun-dried tomatoes and parsley. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
