As the days are getting warmer, my dinners are getting lighter. Lots of vegetables are always welcome at our table. And of course one of my favorite vegetables, cauliflower, is always the front runner to be prepared in the oven thus eliminating the strong smell in the kitchen.
Roasting it which brings out all the natural juices, combines with the tomatoes and the light lemon vinaigrette, you could live just with that. Add some bacon for a fun spin. Seared scallops or oven-baked salmon, or chicken, and there you have a great meal. Or add some asparagus or green beans. The possibilities are endless as this will soon become your favorite salad.
Even better the day after.
