Looks delicious and easy to prepare. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a cauliflower salad before.
I make a different insalata di cavolfiore con olive, but I love your version! I must try out your recipe! How wonderful to use raw cauliflower, and the addition of apples, apricots, and hazelnuts just sounds divine!
I do one with olives, capers, anchovies and pepperoncini as well, and like it a lot, but it’s two very different salads.
What an interesting blend of ingredients! We love raw salads and the addition of the apricots and hazelnuts is divine! Nicely done. We’ll give it a try. :)
