1
Prepare the homemade Italian dressing by combining the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and grated Parmesan in a jar or bowl. Whisk the ingredients together or seal the jar and shake until well combined. Set the dressing aside.
2
Remove leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then chop it into small florets, roughly the size of a grape. Place the chopped cauliflower in a large bowl.
3
Drain the black olives, remove the banana peppers from the jar, and add both to the bowl with the cauliflower.
4
Dice the red bell pepper and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Add them to the bowl with the cauliflower, black olives, and banana peppers.
5
Pour the prepared Italian dressing over the salad and toss to combine all ingredients.
6
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the cauliflower to marinate.
7
Stir the salad again just before serving, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. The flavors improve as the salad sits longer in the refrigerator.
