For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or a handful of crumbled feta cheese just before serving. To prevent the cauliflower from becoming soggy, make sure it's thoroughly dried after washing. This salad is best served chilled, but avoid chilling it for too long, as the cauliflower can lose its crispness. Feel free to experiment with different types of tomatoes, such as grape tomatoes or heirloom varieties, for a colorful and flavorful twist.
