Notes
I have served this both on plates as shown, or in a large bowl with the arugula tossed into the salad. Both ways are delicious and the choice is yours.
You can omit the cheese if you are following a dairy-free diet plan.
I have also doubled the rice wine vinegar and olive oil for this salad in order to create a stronger dressing taste.
The cauliflower can be made and stored up to three days in advance. Once roasted, place them into an airtight container and keep the florets in the fridge until ready to use.
The tomato-onion mixture can made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
The salad once made will last 1-2 days in the refrigerator.
