Summer Sides: Gjusta’s Cauliflower and Dandelion Salad

Yesterday we shared photos from my sister Saree’s rustic bridal brunch, but I wanted to go into detail on one of the recipes from the meal, which was catered by Gjusta in Venice Beach. This cauliflower and dandelion salad was so delicious and unexpected, I thought it was the perfect summer recipe to share. You can bring this salad to a potluck, serve at your own family dinner, or make a big batch for lunches during the week. (It’s so delicious, you might be tempted to do all three.) Mint, capers, chili flakes, and lemon give it tons of flavor, along with a simple shallot and anchovy vinaigrette that gets tossed in at the end. Not only is this dish healthful and satisfying, but it also looks beautiful in the bowl. Cauliflower sides don’t tend to be the most photogenic thing on the table, but the dandelion greens in this recipe really bring it to life. In fact, it looks (and tastes) so good, you can’t help but reach for seconds. XXJKE
