Sunday Supper Picnic :: Cauliflower Relish

The Burrata Salad was a layering of burrata (more about that deliciousness coming soon) heirloom tomato, and a spicy cauliflower relish. Below is part one...the cauliflower relish. It is absolutely delicious. We packaged small jars of this for our guests to take home as favors...and were very happy to keep one jar for ourselves. It is wonderful over fish, in pasta or on toast with avocados.
