Vibrant Romanesco Cauliflower Salad
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds broccoli, broken into florets
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 1 head Romanesco cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 6 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 10 green Italian olives, or more to taste
  • 10 black Italian olives, or more to taste
  • 2 papaccelle (pickled sweet peppers), cut into strips
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water and adding a moderate amount of salt. Place the pot on high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
2
Add broccoli florets to the boiling water and continue cooking until they are slightly tender, approximately 1 minute and 30 seconds.
3
Utilize a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the broccoli to a separate serving plate, reserving the cooking water in the process.
4
Allow the broccoli to cool down before proceeding.
5
Next, add cauliflower florets to the still-boiling water and cook until they are just tender, around 3 minutes.
6
Once again, use a slotted spoon to transfer the cauliflower to a separate serving plate, reserving some of the cooking water.
7
Let the cauliflower cool down before moving on to the next step.
8
Subsequently, add Romanesco cauliflower florets to the boiling water and cook until they are just tender, approximately 3 minutes.
9
Drain the remaining cooking water from the pot and let the Romanesco cauliflower cool down.
10
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a dressing.
11
Arrange the broccoli, cauliflower, and Romanesco cauliflower in layers on a round serving plate.
12
Decorate each layer with sliced green and black olives, as well as strips of papaccelle.
13
Finally, pour the dressing over the top of the arrangement to complete the dish.
