Author Notes
It’s a lot easier to try different things in the summer when the farmer’s market is bursting with goodies. This chilled salad is a great accompaniment for a sandwich, grilled meats or even pot roast. The sweet raisins, tangy and creamy flavors of the sauce make each cauliflower floret "pop" in your mouth and the pine nuts add even more crunchy texture. —Kukla
