Pickled Cauliflower with Vegetables for Winter

A great pickling recipe for cauliflower. Cauliflower packs more nutrients than regular cabbage, so I keep it in my diet and have gotten my whole family to enjoy it. You can toss these pickles into any vegetable salad — something I'm planning to experiment with this winter. Take my advice and you won't be sorry! Dig in! To my mind, cauliflower is the prettiest vegetable there is. Its frilly florets dress up any plate, so it's a joy to pickle and serve alongside any side dish — or simply eat on its own.
