Roasted Cauliflower Salad

Trying to start out 2013 on a healthy note?  Aren't we all!  Thankfully, this roasted cauliflower salad is heart-healthy, easy to make, AND delicious.  The recipe is based on this version by The Shiksa; I personally thought it was too salty with the full amount of olives and capers, so I scaled it back.

{LOVE the roasted cauliflower in this salad!}

I definitely see myself experimenting with this a bit more--maybe next time add sun-dried tomatoes and basil or add feta too.  Either way--it's definitely a great base to start!
