  • “This salad is not for the faint-hearted — it’s sour, bitter, crunchy, fishy and the parsley will get stuck in your teeth. That said, I love it. These are my flavours. If you like all the ingredients, you will love this salad. Otherwise, steer clear. I made two-thirds of a batch — so a head of cauliflower — and adjusted all the other ingredients accordingly. It makes a whole lot of dressing. I used only half and will save the remainder in the fridge for the next time or some other salad. Jan, thanks for throwing most of my favourite ingredients into one amazing dish! Yummo!”

  • “I love cauliflower, but did not like this recipe.I guess I prefer it my way: boil cauliflower until tender, drain and add vinegar, salt and olive oil while still hot.”

  • “Very tasty salad.I made this just as suggested, we all had second helpings!Thanks, Jan S!”
