Follow The Directions

01

Step
15 mins

In a large bowl, combine the chopped cauliflower, black olives, green olives, green bell pepper, celery, pimento peppers, onion, sugar, salt, and pepper. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and lemon juice until well combined. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Pour the vinaigrette over the cauliflower mixture and toss gently to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step
4 hrs

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and intensify. (Refrigeration time: 4 hours or more)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vinaigrette.
This salad is best when made ahead of time, as the flavors develop beautifully over several hours.
Feel free to adjust the amount of vinegar and lemon juice to suit your taste preferences.
If you don't have pimento peppers on hand, roasted red bell peppers make a great substitute.
