Reviews
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoyed this salad. My heads of broccoli & cauliflower were what I would call medium in size so I doubled the dressing as well as the oregano, peppers and caper. I actually would even triple the dressing next time. We omitted the olives. I had to used canned artichoke quarters because none of the stores had frozen. Also, no stores in my area had cherry peppers, so I used roasted red peppers instead.
Very good and different! We have lots of family gatherings and it’s nice to have a different vegetable side dish to bring. No cheese or Mayo, this recipe let’s the veggies shine. It’s not something we crave, but it’s a really good change up.
Excellent. I love pickled stuff and the punch of vinegar was great.
I made this tonight for dinner with the rest of the menu. It was delicious. I loved the Cherry Peppers. I’ve never had them before. I couldn’t find frozen artichokes saw I had to use canned. It was great. I plan on making this for Super Bowl.
Very good and easy recipe. I did add blanched green beans and celery. I substituted the oregano with dried and substituted the peppers with roasted red peppers and red pepper flakes because that’s what I had on hand. Good to have a salad this great, even in the middle of winter.
