The recipe below has you make a homemade Italian vinaigrette to mix with the cauliflower. But my go-to on a busy weeknight is to use 2 tablespoons of store-bought Italian dressing instead of the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, oregano, and lemon juice. Whichever way you make it, if you love raw cauliflower and Italian flavors, this salad is for you.
