How To Make ripe olive cauliflower salad

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425˚F. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces. Place rimmed tray and toss with olive oil, shallots, and salt. Roast, stirring occasionally, until cauliflower is golden, about 30 minutes.
  • 2
    As cauliflower roasts, melt butter in a small skillet. Add the ripe olives, herbs, and salt. Cook briefly, to warm the olives. Turn off heat and stir in the lemon juice.
