Cauliflower Salad with Zip

This is a wonderful accompaniment to a meal when cooking outdoors on the grill.

• 1 1/3 cup salad oil
• 2/3 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon oregano
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 cups cauliflower florets
• 2 Serrano's or jalapeno chiles, seeds and stems removed, chopped
• 3/4 cup pitted ripe olives, sliced
• 3/4 cup chopped red bell pepper

METHOD

Combine the salad oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, basil, oregano, and garlic in a glass jar with a lid. Shake the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and set aside.
