Ingredients
  

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1 bottle red wine vinaigrette or 2-3 cups of homemade red wine vinaigrette

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized pieces and put them into a bowl with a lid that seals tightly.
  • Pour in enough red wine vinaigrette to mostly cover the cauliflower.
  • Seal the bowl shut, and put it in the refrigerator.
  • Every 12 hours, turn the bowl upside down.
  • After about 48 hours, the cauliflower will be ready to eat.

Notes

We've left this sit for as long as 4 days, and the cauliflower soaked up so much of the vinaigrette that it turned pink. That was amazing, our best batch ever. In this house, it almost never lasts long enough to turn pink.
If you don't let the cauliflower marinate for at least 24 hours, it will pretty much taste like cauliflower with salad dressing. The vinaigrette takes a couple of days to really soak in.
