12ouncescherry tomatoes, sliced in half (about 2 cups)
8ouncescucumber, diced (about 2 cups)
4ouncesfeta cheese, crumbled (optional)
1/2cuppitted olives, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Arrange the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle it with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss well to coat the cauliflower evenly, then spread it out in an even layer and season with a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place the pan in the oven to roast until the cauliflower is fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
While the cauliflower is cooking, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large mixing bowl, along with the vinegar, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
Add the diced veggies to the bowl as you chop them, starting with the red onion so it will have time to marinate in the dressing and mellow in flavor. Add in the cherry tomatoes and cucumber next, stirring each time so the veggies can start picking up the flavor of the dressing.
When the cauliflower is tender, let it cool for 10 minutes on the pan, then add it to the bowl of dressing and veggies. Toss well to coat, and add in any optional toppings you love, like the olives and feta cheese. (For a dairy-free dish, simply omit the cheese.) You can serve this right away, or place it in the fridge to chill until you're ready to eat. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
