Notes

Step-by-Step Photos: My blog post includes helpful step-by-step photos to help guide you through making this recipe.
  • You can cut and store cauliflower, endive and fennel ahead of time. Store them separately or use the same container and divide them with a towel; or as I do, using the coffee filter. To prevent them from oxidization and discoloration apply small amount of lemon or vinegar. The cut vegetables can stay in the fridge for a week.
  • The lemon vinaigrette dressing can be made several days in advance. In case olive oil become solidified in the fridge, which is expected, leave the dressing on a counter for 5-10 minutes and whisk with a fork or whisk to emulsify.
  • The prepared, dressed salad can stay in the fridge for several hours.
